I’ve been using database transactions heavily in an application I’m working on and thought it might be a good topic to write about. I started searching for tutorials on the subject and found very few that are of good quality. Hopefully this will enlighten you and provide a better understanding of the subject.

Unfortunately, there are many people addicted to MySpace and, consequently, there are now numerous support groups. You may be thinking that’s kinda funny but I have seen it in my classes…it’s been a big problem…let’s just hope it doesn’t happen to you too.
So why encourage something that is causing people to lose jobs and drop out of school?
The reason is simple…money. Here’s the explanation…
One day I was looking for the White & Nerdy video to show my white and nerdy kids and I came across the White & Nerdy Wikipedia page and started reading (we call this getting sucked into Wikipedia land). From there I ended up looking at both Weird Al and Chamillionaire’s MySpace page, which are both really nice – even by MySpace standards.
I then started thinking…there is absolutely no way that celebrities are “pimping” their own pages…there’s got to be a job market for this. So I searched a couple of the job bank sites and sure enough, there are jobs for people that can pimp a MySpace page!!! Cha-ching!!! Don’t believe me? Go to Monster.com or CareerBuilder.com and search for yourself.
I created a MySpace profile that very day and now incorporate an advanced layout tutorial in one of my classes. I still do not like MySpace because students waste way too much time browsing instead of doing classwork. Not to mention the horribly coded, inaccessible, incompliant, insecure, poorly structured pages that are enough to give any respectable developer nightmares. It’s so bad that you have to use hacks to create a decent looking profile…and this is allowed and even encouraged by MySpace. But I am willing to live with it since there is potential to make money by doing something that people enjoy enough to end up at myspaceaholics anonymous meetings.
