  1. We stopped looking at the post counts and started looking at the "likes" a few years ago - a much better outlook IMO.

     

    That's well and good until you realize that someone like me was on the first page for a long time.  I managed one RCF plugin that got a bit of attention for a while, and most of the rest of my posts were "liked" because I was being silly.  That's my legacy :D

  2. Can someone recommend a simple actor-oriented architecture?  That's a subjective question, I know...

     

    Many years ago I wanted to try my hand at OO programming, so I picked Java and began coding an application which ended up with an enormous main() method that did nearly everything (poorly, too).  I clearly didn't get OO; I knew that I was using the language incorrectly but I didn't know how to begin.  I later took a Java course which removed the mental block and I was able to refactor my code to use appropriate objects, each with their own properties and methods.  It was beautiful  Extending the application became ridiculously easy.

     

    I have a similar mental block with actors.  Please help me take a step, there's a roadblock that I just can't see past.

     

    Thank you.

    1. Access and MS SQL Server

      1. One of my colleagues used MySQL on one system until he was able to put it on our network.  Switching from MySQL to SQL Server was a piece of donught.

    [*]We use the generic database schema

    [*]We write our own

    1. If you have a basic understanding of relational databases, and once you understand the schema, you can decide how to review the data.  DIAdem is worth looking at.

    I'm barely functional with TestStand and databases (certainly not an expert) and only answered to assure you that it's not difficult.  I've been thinking about moving our entire operation to TestStand to leverage its "test executive" features, database storage being very important to me in terms of getting our Quality operation on the same page across product lines.

     

    Good luck.
