Monday morning links

In no particular order.

• MSN: what makes a good boss?
• When Oracle's CONNECT BY isn't around - DocQueryInSql, TreeInSql, Storing hierarchical data
• Java UI's can look good and act fast - JGoodies. I'm assuming this license gives me freedom to write some simple apps - needs to verify it.

• Deploy an SWT application using Java Web Start
• Java Desktop to and from Python Desktop
• FileZilla - the best FTP client for Windows
• Foobar2000 - I love this mp3/ogg player for Windows. No skins, no extras, just enough features and light memory utilization. Almost looks like Notepad!
• Vim 6.2 - mostly a bug fix release.

1. I totally agree about Foobar2000. Amazing application that does what it is meant to do, well. Right now I am having fun tweaking the playlist srtyle :)

2. The book "Advanced Transact-SQL for SQL Server 2000" by Itzik Ben-Gan & Tom Moreau has a chapter dedicated to trees (chapter 16). While the examples are written in T-SQL, geared specifically for SQL-Server, they could be applied to other database servers with minimal changes. They're using a technique similar to the TreeInSql page, and adding triggers to the mix to automatically keep the path up to date. Fun stuff.
