A Succinct Definition of Mort

by admin 28. March 2004 20:46

Thanks to Eric Lippert we finally have a succinct definition of Mort (not to mention Elvis and Einstein):

the professional line-of-business programmer who lacks a degree in computer science but has a great deal of familiarity with Office and VBA, and who typically writes productivity applications shared amongst his coworkers.http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2004/03/02/82840.aspx

Of course, I still maintain that Terry Pratchett was closer to the mark.

RikMigrations

RikMigrations is a database migration library for .NET based on the migrations facility provided by Ruby on Rails. It allows simple upgrading and downgrading of databases using .NET code (such as VB or C#) either from the command line or built into your application. Unlike many other migration frameworks, RikMigrations is a stand-alone library which does not rely on a large surrounding framework.
