Database is an integral part of any company/project. They range from small scale to large scale. But most of the times, if you ask for a data dictionary, then 'boom' - nobody has a data dictionary. This tool will enable you to create data dictionary for your tables and export them to an Excel file. 

The Xamarin Community Toolkit is a collection of Animations, Behaviors, Converters, Effects and even controls for mobile development with Xamarin.Forms.

In part 1 Tim provides an overview of extensions and talks about some of the enhancements in Visual Studio 2015 for writing extensions. He creates a very simple extension and then gives a quick overview of an extension he is writing.

One very important design aspect when creating a new table is the decision to create or not create a clustered index.  A table that does not have a clustered index is referred to as a HEAP and a table that has a clustered index is referred to as a clustered table.

The OutputCache attribute does not allow us to dynamically change the cache settings for the current request. As MVC and Web API both rely on different libraries I could not reuse the Web API action filter in MVC so I had to come up with a new solution. This again resulted in two simple classes. 

The next major release of the popular data structure server is here. Redis is at the heart of so many data systems nowadays that any major release is big news but 6.0 packs in a lot of new bits and pieces that make it more robust and capable of modern workloads, including:
- Access Control Lists (ACL) for limiting what certain clients can do.
- Diskless replication on replicas.
- Threaded I/O (but Redis itself remains primarily single threaded).
- SSL/TLS support.
- A new client-server protocol, RESP3.
 

Julia is used for a lot of deeply technical applications like Machine Learning and Data Science. But as a general-purpose programming language, Julia can also be used for things like building websites and interactive visualizations. In this article, we will go over 5 Julia packages that can be used to create desktop GUI’s or web applications.
