		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re using Ruby on Windows, but always encountering gems that require native extensions, then the new(ish) RubyInstaller project is for you. When browsing the Ruby download page, you may have noticed the newfangled Windows installer for download. They&#8217;ve swapped out the old installer (ever wonder where the option for installing SciTE went?) in favor [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week I was curious about the performance of JOINs in MySQL. How severe is the performance hit of joins? How much slower is a string join over an integer join? I decided to do some tests, and I’m going to share my results here. I did these tests on a computer with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a little more searching around, I found some good pieces which bring back to reality the performance claims of Maglev and potential problems with object oriented databases. Let&#8217;s not forget that Maglev isn&#8217;t even out yet, and we have no idea if it&#8217;ll be what it claims to be. In the mean time, there are other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It took me a couple days on my current PHP/MySQL project to get the DB abstraction with proper error handling, input validation, and relational support coded to the point where I&#8217;m happy with the model. This was after trying Zend_Db, Doctrine, and Propel, which are all good libraries, but I hit points where the work [...]]]></description>
