Using Visual Studio to Create Firefox Extensions

4:09 PM PDT, August 2, 2006

Sometimes it's interesting to see what you can accomplish with a given tool. Now, I'm all for expanding legtimate uses of a tool, but if I try something out and find it cumbersome, I certainly don't keep trying to perform the task with that tool. For example, I know people who might try to use a spreadsheet as a word processor. Sure, you can do it, but I know far less painful ways of typing a letter. That's why I thought it was so interesting that I was able to devise a method for creating Firefox extensions using Visual Studio.

Visual Studio is an excellent project organization tool, even when you don't use the predefined Microsoft templates. The editor provides all of the color coding you need to create a Firefox extension and you can even reasonably expect the IDE to help you write the code (as odd as that might sound). You can read more about my Firefox extension coding experience on DevSource. What other uses of Visual Studio have you tried? Contact me at JPMAmazon@yahoo.com with your experiences.

Databases are potentially the most important common software element for any business. Consequently, I normally include some type of database coverage in my books.

However, the question is what kind of database coverage I provide. It depends on the book and the audience I'm writing for, but generally I don't provide the same level of detail as a book that is dedicated to working with databases. After all, the author writing a database management book has more pages to devote to the topic. So, I concentrate on the essentials for the product that I'm discussing.

When writing for a particular product, I try to cover all of the databases that the product will support. For Microsoft products, this means that my older books discusses Access and SQL Server. My newer books include XML databases and even discuss Excel to an extent in at least one case. I usually provide one cha
