- This is the second in a series of interviews of Anders Hejlsberg at Artima as discussed in a previous LtU thread. Anders weighs in on the subject of Java's checked exceptions. It is funny how people think that the important thing about exceptions is handling them. That is not the important thing about exceptions. In a well-written application there's a ratio of ten to one, in my opinion, of try finally to try catch. |

Had Feuerstein's book recommended as a way to get a quick immersion into the Oracle programming culture. The book is comprised of 120 suggestions of things to-do and not-to-do. Some rather pedantic, but by and large informative, being an authoritative source for PL/SQL best practices. Having completed the text, I'd also recommend it to anyone using PL/SQL. |
