Last updated on 18th Oct. 2024 Oct. 15th and 16th: As I have done a quick refresh and slightly improved my SQL database design knowledge over past few days, I felt that I should also get some exposure to MongoDB database design. So far, I have used fairly simple MongoDB schemas in the tutorial projects I have gone through and perhaps some simple project variations that I did. I need to get more exposure.

Last updated on 15th Oct. 2024 In my past software industry career (1984 to 2002), I had done some amount of SQL database related work but not much. So I was not a database design expert. But I could understand simple to medium complexity database designs and use SQL on command line or through programs to do CRUD operations on the database. Given the above background and given that some web dev projects use SQL databases instead of NoSQL databases, I would like to refresh and improve my knowledge on SQL database design. This post has notes related to this activity. ================== Around 13th to 14th Oct.: About yellow and red key icons, and blue, red and white diamond icons before columns in entities in ER diagrams: What do the mysql workbench column icons mean, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10778561/what-do-the-mysql-workbench-column-icons-mean explains what these icons stand for.

Last updated on 9 Dec. 2024 A web dev. project that I am starting to study, uses ".Net Core" for the back-end and ReactJS for the front-end. I want to get a quick overview of .Net Core and am doing some reading/viewing on it in short bursts. Notes about it are given below. ASP.NET Core,  https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/aspnet seems to be the main official docs page. Some key points from it: Free. Cross-platform. Open source. A framework for building web apps and services with .NET and C#. Supported on Windows, Linux, and macOS Hmm. That's quite interesting. My last industry project, IIRC, was on ASP.NET and C# in 2002. I don't think it was free then, nor cross-platform (I think it was only Windows platform then) and not open source. Quite fascinating that 22 years later, the name of the web dev. platform has not changed much - from ASP.NET to ASP.NET Core and the language is still C#. Of course, the features of ASP.NET Core as well as C# today will be far mor...
