Lets create a simple transformation to convert a CSV into an XML file. Our Transformation has to do the following: Read the CSV file Build the greetings message Save the greetings in the XML file Create a Transformation: Here's how to start the Transformation: To the left of the works...

Pentaho Data Integration comes in two varieties: Community Edition (CE) - Free version for developers Enterprise Edition (EE) - Paid version for enterprise use Installation steps: You can download Pentaho Data Integration Community Edition from Sourceforge.net. For the Enterprise Editio...

Sometimes when working with linear regression we need to check for non-linearity in the data. One way to do this is to fit a polynomial model and check whether it fits the data better than a linear model. There are other reasons, such as theoretical, that indicate to fit a quadratic or higher order ...

Digital hardware is built from two types of hardware primitives: Combinatorial gates (inverters, and, or, xor, 1-bit full adders, 1-bit multiplexers...) These logic gates perform a simple boolean computation on their inputs and produce an output. Each time one of their inputs changes, they st...

This example is directly derived from John Cooley’s design contest at SNUG’95 (Synopsys Users Group meeting). The contest was intended to oppose VHDL and Verilog designers on the same design problem. What John had in mind was probably to determine what language was the most efficient. The result...

This implementation of IDatabaseInitializer drops and recreates the database if the model changes automatically. Usage: public class MyContext : DbContext { public MyContext() { Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<MyContext>()); } }

This implementation of IDatabaseInitializer drops and recreates the database everytime your context is used in applications app domain. Beware of the data loss due to the fact, that the database is recreated. Usage: public class MyContext : DbContext { public MyContext() { Database.S...

You can create your own implementation of IDatabaseInitializer. Example implementation of an initializer, that will migrate the database to 0 and then migrate all the way to the newest migration (usefull e.g. when running integration tests). In order to do that you would need a DbMigrationsConfigur...

An implementation of IDatabaseInitializer that will use Code First Migrations to update the database to the latest version. To use this initializer you have to use DbMigrationsConfiguration type too. Usage: public class MyContext : DbContext { public MyContext() { Database.SetInitial...

A complex type allows you to map selected fields of a database table into a single type that is a child of the main type. [ComplexType] public class Address { public string Street { get; set; } public string Street_2 { get; set; } public string City { get; set; } public string...

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MemOptimizedTemporalTable] ( [BusinessDocNo] [bigint] NOT NULL, [ProductCode] [int] NOT NULL, [UnitID] [tinyint] NOT NULL, [PriceID] [tinyint] NOT NULL, [SysStartTime] [datetime2](7) GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW START NOT NULL, [SysEndTime] [datetime2](7...

This class enables a programmer to create an object and protect its confidentiality with a cryptographic algorithm. Given any Serializable object, one can create a SealedObject that encapsulates the original object, in serialized format (i.e., a "deep copy"), and seals (encrypts) its seri...

Canvas allows you to context.translate, context.rotate and context.scale in order to draw your shape in the position & size you require. Canvas itself uses a transformation matrix to efficiently track transformations. You can change Canvas's matrix with context.transform You can change Canv...

Block strings can be used to hold formatted or indentation-sensitive text (or, if you just don't feel like escaping quotes and apostrophes). The indentation level that begins the block is maintained throughout, so you can keep it all aligned with the body of your code. html = """ ...

Multiline strings are allowed in CoffeeScript. Lines are joined by a single space unless they end with a backslash. Indentation is ignored. mobyDick = "Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to ...

While the if ()... else statement allows to define only one (default) behaviour which occurs when the condition within the if () is not met, chaining two or more if () ... else statements allow to define a couple more behaviours before going to the last else branch acting as a "default", i...

Plenty has been written about Python's GIL. It can sometimes cause confusion when dealing with multi-threaded (not to be confused with multiprocess) applications. Here's an example: import math from threading import Thread def calc_fact(num): math.factorial(num) num = 600000 t = Threa...

In most object oriented languages, allocating memory for an object and initializing it is an atomic operation: // Both allocates memory and calls the constructor MyClass object = new MyClass(); In Objective-C, these are separate operations. The class methods alloc (and its historic sibling allo...
