What are web based apps?

@Dashrender Wow, "platform independent," is he describing SQL as an actual piece of software not a language/mark up? And the rest he says is just... I don't even...
Because you can have SQL front ends to many different types of databases, some non-RDBMS also have SQL front ends.
He's an expert in being ignorant as hell.

Yep, and what's worse is that he's a physician who thinks he knows something, but it seems pretty clear that he really does not know this stuff at all.
It's one thing to be unhappy with a product, but to spout off about a bunch of stuff that's wrong... sadly other people are looking to him for guidance since he appears to know what he's talking about.

I wanted to start by telling this guy that he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
That's all you need to say in my opinion. Of course you can lay it all politely if you want
Anyway so he doesn't know what DB they use at all, but knows it's not SQL? How does he know?
I agree, you are at a point where the guy doesn't really know what he is talking about. He neither has official info nor does he seem to really understand the terms or how they apply. He is right about some things, ActiveX is ancient and a silly way to make software. But that XHTML can talk to a database shows that he has absolutely no idea what he is saying and is just repeating terms.

Could you imagine the utter fresh hell like:
<input type="submit" sql="UPDATE ..." /> -

I had the same thought. He's not aware of what any of these terms mean. Nothing he is saying really makes sense.

Ah, that makes more sense. He sounds like a doctor. This is the state of medical education in America. This is why I fear doctors, few professions are more arrogant while being more ignorant. They have to have special education tracks to dumb things down for them. It would be a rare medical doctor that could even remotely have chosen an intellectual career track like engineering or science. The degree to which doctors are uneducated is scary and staggering.
There is a reason why I don't think that IT "professionals" should use the term "professional" because it associates us with career options like doctors which we should be embarrassed to be categorized with.

If this is how he behaves about things so incredibly easy and public as SQL language, databases, relational theory, HTML, etc. imagine the crap that he says when acting "as a doctor." I fear for the poor souls whose lives he puts at risk.

@scottalanmiller Just wait until the OOP version comes out, then you'll be afraid
