Parallel Programming
This is the first in a series of articles introducing the parallel programming techniques that are available in the C# programming language and the .NET framework version 4.0. The first part describes some of the concepts of parallel programming.

Dependency Inversion Principle
The sixth and final article in the SOLID Principles series describes the Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP). The DIP states that high level modules should not depend upon low level modules and that abstractions should not depend upon details.

Interface Segregation Principle
The fifth article in the SOLID Principles series describes the Interface Segregation Principle (ISP). The ISP specifies that clients should not be forced to depend upon interfaces that they do not use. Instead, those interfaces should be minimised.

Is a Square a Rectangle?
In Geometry, a square is a special case of rectangle where the height and width of the shape are equal. When modelling squares and rectangles in object-oriented programming languages, defining this relationship can lead to unexpected bugs.

Liskov Substitution Principle
The fourth article in the SOLID Principles series describes the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP). The LSP specifies that functions that use pointers of references to base classes must be able to use objects of derived classes without knowing it.

Open / Closed Principle
The third article in the SOLID Principles series describes the Open / Closed Principle (OCP). The OCP states that all classes and similar units of source code should be open for extension but closed for modification.

Single Responsibility Principle
The second article in the SOLID Principles series describes the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). The SRP states that each class or similar unit of code should have one responsibility only and, therefore, only one reason to change.

The SOLID Principles
This is the first article in a series of six that describe the SOLID principles of object-oriented design and programming. The SOLID principles provide five guidelines that, when followed, can dramatically enhance the maintainability of software.

Database Normalisation
The seventeenth part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial discusses the concept of database normalisation. Normalisation is a database design technique that minimises duplication of information, reducing the risk of introducing data errors.

Relational Database Concepts
This is the first in a series of articles describing the use of Microsoft's SQL Server database management system (DBMS). The tutorial is aimed at software developers using SQL Server for data storage. Part one reviews database concepts and terminology.
