OWL Writing Exercises Welcome to the updated OWL exercise pages. For the past year and a half, we have been working on updating the OWL page design and OWL navigation based on our OWL Usability Project findings. As part of this process, we have also been working on correcting and updating our exercises. To navigate the OWL exercises, please use the navigation bar on the left. You may also print the exercises and the exercise answers by using the Full Resource for Printing button at the bottom of the exercise pages. If you cannot find an exercise you have used in the past, or if you have a suggestion for adding an exercise, please let us know. Note: Users may notice that the OWL exercises no longer offer the dropdown option.
OWL We're working hard to place all of our existing and brand-new material into this new version of the site. Please use the provided search box if you are having trouble finding a specific resource. The Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University houses writing resources and instructional material, and we provide these as a free service of the Writing Lab at Purdue. Students, members of the community, and users worldwide will find information to assist with many writing projects. Teachers and trainers may use this material for in-class and out-of-class instruction. In addition, we invite users to submit brief, writing-related questions to our OWL Mail Tutors . For more information about services for the Purdue University community, including one-to-one consultations, ESL conversation groups and workshops, please visit the Writing Lab site . Mission

A Visual Explanation of SQL Joins I love the concept, though, so let's see if we can make it work. Assume we have the following two tables. Table A is on the left, and Table B is on the right. We'll populate them with four records each. id name id name -- ---- -- ---- 1 Pirate 1 Rutabaga 2 Monkey 2 Pirate 3 Ninja 3 Darth Vader 4 Spaghetti 4 Ninja Let's join these tables by the name field in a few different ways and see if we can get a conceptual match to those nifty Venn diagrams. There's also a cartesian product or cross join, which as far as I can tell, can't be expressed as a Venn diagram: SELECT * FROM TableA CROSS JOIN TableB This joins "everything to everything", resulting in 4 x 4 = 16 rows, far more than we had in the original sets.

Five Open Source Apps For Writers and Authors by Lisa Hoover - Jul. 17, 2009Comments (9) Even if you have the perfect idea for the next Great American Novel, getting it down on paper is never easy. While you could always use standard word processors like OpenOffice Write or AbiWord, they don't have the bells and whistles that make writing books, manuals, and theses as easy as possible. Fortunately, there are a few open source applications that help budding authors get stories out of their heads and into the hands of readers. Kabikaboo - This recursive writing assistant is perfect for managing large documents, technical manuals, and long novels. Storybook - Any author or novelist will tell you writing a book is a complicated affair. Celtx - Many scriptwriters swear by Celtx, and with good reason. LyX - If you do a lot of academic writing, theses, or scientific papers, Lyx will make sure the structure of your documents meets formal acceptance requirements.

Steps to use Fragments to patch a plug-in I'm at EclipseCon 2008 and have just come across a great Eclipse tip. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to modify a little bit of Eclipse code to either fix something obvious or to modify an Eclipse class's behavior to my liking. This tip allows me to modify any Eclipse class and ship the change with my own RCP application. This solution uses Eclipse Fragments. An Eclipse Fragment is a way of putting your own classes into the "class loader" of another package (basically, it's as though your class was actually in the other package). Get the package to be modified into your workspace 1) Show the class you want to edit in Eclipse (Ctrl-Shift-T, type the class name, enter) 2) Show the Plug-ins View in your workbench (Window, Show View, Other, PDE, select Plug-ins) 3) Find the corresponding package in the Plug-ins View 4) Right-mouse click the package name and select Import as Source Project Modify the Host package Manifest settings * Example: 3.3.1.M20070910-0800b-MyPatch 14) Finish Run
