The OakLeaf Database Lens provides links to online items and original content about Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Access databases, WinForm and WebForm database front-ends and data-intensive XML Web services created with Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Basic, and related topics that might be of interest to database developers.
Many of the links are to my articles in the OakLeaf Systems blog, Fawcette Technical Publications' Visual Studio Magazine (VSM) and their .NETInsight newsletter. Most VSM and .NETInsight articles include dowloadable sample Visual Basic code for the article's topic. Other links point to MSDN blogs created by Microsoft program managers and developers on database-related topics.
You'll also find links to topics related to databases offered as Software as a Service (SaaS), such as Google Base, Windows.Live.Expo (a.ka., "Windows.Live.Classifieds" and "Fremont"), and the like. A few blog items cover OpenOffice 2.0, OpenOffice Base (the new database application), OpenDocument specification 1.0 (ODS 1.0), and Microsoft Open Office XML Formats for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
At the bottom of this page, you'll find links to Amazon.com pages for many of the English editions of the 30+ Microsoft database and operating system books I've written during the past 12 years.
