So I finally realized the fact that next semester in college, my database class will be, essentially, hell. Mainly because we will be taught how to explicitly use MS-SQL, using IIS on a Windows Vista server.

Sure everyone that takes the class gets everything needed (including MS-SQL and Vista) for free, but it's still a bit AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So, any survival tips for going into server hell?

The best way to survive is to not even go in.

I'm sorry, but that's a big no. Any proprietary format (I'm assuming MS-SQL is) should be avoided.

Is this course really necessary for you?

If it isn't, and you're anticipating that it will be hellacious, then I really suggest avoiding it.

*thinks* Survival tips for college in general, I can do... but I know nothing of the material on the class you're taking.

What you really need is your own laptop. DON'T fucking use the computers they provide, ever.

Leech off their interweb, ask them for the security key so that you can use the internet.

(Jesus christ, I'm only 13 and already I'm preparing for college.

Note to self, save money for good 20TB laptop.)

Somewhat, yes. IIRC it's part of the CS major. Or it's CIS (I'm shooting for CS major with CIS minor)

Been doing that since last year. And their wireless network is semi-open; you have to install this crappy Cisco app that you put your student username and password into in order to connect to the internuts on campus. Which means no WFC games on the DS.

I'm going to have to install Norton or Symantec or something in order to connect to my college's network, wireless or not. I really hope I can find a way to bypass that, because a) I don't need no stinking security system, and b) I don't want something that will likely be a resource hog.

I guess I'll just have to play around with it.

But is it a required class in the major?

DANGER, DANGER WILL ROBINSON

While that's great if, like, you're working for microsoft, half the SQL tricks you learn there won't work anywhere else. Sorry to tell you... >.>
