I have been doing practices and exercising in SAS Studio for sometime. In addition to the fact that SAS Studio is free and better-looking, is there any other difference makes SAS Studio a better choice than SAS Enterprise?
Aside from HTML, running in the cloud, is there any functional difference? Or is there any specific task can be done with more efficiency with either platform?
There are several different implementations of SAS Studio, the On Demand version for Academics, the SAS University Edition as well as a version that companies can use to access their server. Each has different limitations. EG is more powerful in my opinion.
However, if they're both installed such that you're accessing a remote server they'll be more equivalent.
SAS UE is limited as well to the packages licensed, for example it does not support SAS Graph. Additionally, it runs on a VM which has limitations on what you can do. And most importantly - the licensing. SAS UE is designed primarily for learning. If you want to consult or implement in your workplace you'll need the full license and then can choose between EG and Studio.
The brand new FAQ also lists a few comparisons:
http://support.sas.com/software/products/sasstudio/faq/SASStudio_vsEG.htm
I agree that the SAS Studio interface is nice and clean but SAS EG has many features that are missing in SAS Studio. One very useful one for novices is the wizard that does proc tabulate code: Tasks > Describe > Summary Table

I am a computer science student and I want to do a personal project demonstrating some skills that I have learned. Recently I learned how to use SQL with PHP. Since PHP isn't as relevant as it once was, I was hoping someone could point me towards a more commonly used back-end tool where I still interact with my database through SQL queries. In my question, I specifically asked about a C++ framework since I am most comfortable with C++, but if there are much more common frameworks for what I'm looking for that use Java or Python, that would work as well.
Doing a quick google search gave me a very very large list of potential frameworks, so I was hoping someone with more knowledge in the field can point me towards one that employers would find the most relevant.
On a side note, I was also wondering if a framework is completely necessary, or if I can create my back-end just using native c++? If so, is this a valuable skill to look into?
Thanks for the help.
check out QT for the C++ GUI & MySQL for the backend...

Does anyone know of a free tool, similar to what is built into Visual Studio 2010 for managed code, that can do analysis of unmanaged, MFC C++ code and give metrics (lines of code, dependency or coupling, etc)?
I've been searching on Google for awhile, but really haven't been able to find anything that works. Thanks a ton!
Source Monitor is a good free tool tool for code metrics such as LoC and complexity and also produces kiviat graphs. But it does not have any depedency or coupling metrics.
Our SourceMeter tool can analyze your Visual C++ project and provide you all the information you asked for: metrics (lines of code, dependency, coupling, 60+ metrics altogether). The results are in standard CSV files, which you can easily open in e.g. spreadsheet editors.
I am not sure about free tool but one paid tool which is most comprehensive is IBM's Logiscope http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/logiscope/
Not free but QA-CPP does metrics like cyclomatic complexity and static analysis.
It's fairly complex to set up but they are pretty good on product support and regularly put out updates.

What library for connecting C++ with SQL Server do you recommend.
I was searching and found this where is a disccussion about which is best ODBC, ADO or OLE DB?
In your opinion if I have Windows XP SP 2, SQL Server 2008, and VIsual Studio 2008, what works simple and right?.
Does anyone have a functional example, to test....
For SQL Server you probably want to use ADO.NET. There are a lot of goodies in the SqlClient namespace that you just don't get with any other data access technology. It is also very easy to connect to SQL Server datasources, handle errors etc.
The SqlClient namespace is SQL Server-specific though so if you have thoughts of making your app db-agnostic then you need to look at other options such as the Data.Common namespace which contains a nice factory model that allows you to write "provider independent" db access code.
They all work.
I'd default to the native client (system.data.sqlclient), since it's made specifically for SQL-Server, and probably has the most up-to-date / optimized / complete interface.
Here's some info from MSDN if it helps: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810810.aspx

I'm looking for a C++ libraries that can work with Visual Studio 2008/2010, but not MS-SQL. Since MySql is the first database application that I used, it would be much helpful if it also can work with MySql. I had a bad experience with setting up MySqlConnector in Visual Studio. It was such a nightmare, it was so difficult to set up the environment. The reason that I like Visual Studio because of Visual Assist and ViEmu. I feel very unproductive without these two tools. So my priority will follow this order:
Update
0. Cross platform, not specific to Windows. ( I only like Visual Studio not MS )
1. Easy to set up with Visual Studio.
2. Has similar design to STL C++. I'm a fan of STL C++.
3. Light weight since I'm still a student, and I only want to experiment.
Thanks,
Chan
I think SQLite might be a good choice, it's massively supported with ADO.NET.
Read this post, it might give you few aspects on data access from C++.
Update
Read this post to have more on SQLite~C/C++ (no MS).
BTW, many big companies use SQLite.
I am not sure if it stays in the same criteria with MySql.
If MySQL is what you are familiar with, then perhaps you should use MySQL++. The FAQ section discusses using it on VC++.
It seems to fit all your requirements except possibly "Easy to set up with Visual Studio" since that is entirely subjective, but download the code - compile the code - link the code seems fairly straightforward to me.
MySQL's native client has a C API (and therefore easily usable from C++)

I have a large 95% C, 5% C++ Win32 code base that I am trying to grok.
What modern tools are available for generating call-graph diagrams for C or C++ projects?
Have you tried doxygen and codeviz ?
Doxygen is normally used as a documentation tool, but it can generate call graphs for you with the CALL_GRAPH/CALLER_GRAPH options turned on.
Wikipedia lists a bunch of other options that you can try.
Have you tried SourceInsight's call graph feature?
http://www.sourceinsight.com/docs35/ae1144092.htm
Good old cflow works fine for C. See here for an implementation.
Any decent static analysis tool should have this functionality (as well as all the other stuff that such tools do). Wikipedia has a good list of such tools.
Another group of tools that may be worth checking out are coverage tools. The call graph generated by the coverage tool will contain only the calls that actually take place during a run of the program. Initially this may be more helpful to you than a full call graph. I'm unable to make any suggestions on this for Windows, but for linux projects I highly recommend gcov and lcov.
