In the past 12 months, Microsoft has released major versions of Visual Studio (Team System), SQL Server, Windows, SharePoint, and Office.

Windows Server 2008 promises to be a boon to developers because it provi...

Examples of APIs used to access SQL Server include ODBC and DB-Library. Examples of object libraries used to access SQL Server include OLE DB, ADO, and ADO.NET. Because ADO ultimately uses OLE DB to communicate with the server, there are really just two object libraries commonly used by Windows applications to communicate ...
