Tip |
Tip: When naming fields/columns in a table, use ONE name for the data in the field. For example, although states are called provinces and other names in other coutries, use one or the other in the database but not both. Use CompanyState, avoid CompanyStateProvince. Use labels in your website or program to switch context.

Short Definition: Nullable types are instances of System.Nullable(T). A Nullable type can represent any of the normal values for its value type or it can be assigned the value null. This is useful when dealing with databases that may have types that do not have a value.

Tip: Do not use the smallest standard font size of "1" and "xx-small" for any text you actually want a visitor to read. The smallest font size should be reserved for text you don't care if the visitor reads like the copyright notice at the bottom of the page.

Short Definition: A composite relationship means that a class cannot exist by itself. It must exist as a member of another class. A composite relationship is indicated by a solid line with a solid diamond head pointing to the part class. Alternatively, you can show this relationship graphically with the part class nested in the whole class.

Short Definition: Where you generalize specific classes into general parent classes or take general parent classes and specialize them as needed in child classes. A Generalization relationship is the equivalent of inheritance in object oriented programming (OOP). A Generalization relationship is an "is-a" relationship and is indicated by an arrow with a hollow arrowhead pointing to the parent class. For example, a Honda Accord "is-a" Car.

Tip |
Tip: Test each website with various common browsers. As of early 2008, we test each website we build with Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Safari. Sometimes we also include Opera as part of our standard test suite. The minimum resolution we test for "regular" websites is 1024x768 (and higher). We no longer support 800x600.
