Expert VB 2008 Business Objects

I have a passion for frameworks. In more than 20 years as a professional developer, I’ve never worked on a computing platform that did everything I needed it to do to build applications productively.

Philosophy is generally not much concerned with the practical implications of its investigations and, conversely, business is often deeply interested in the tactical outcomes of its operations. And ethics is a loaded word. Preconceived notions of what ethics mean, even as a le­ gitimate field of study, often make people shy away from it as…
