Scott Mitchell was nice enough to leave me a comment that a sneak peak of his next article about the DAAB is up on 4GuysFromRolla. I wasn't sure if it was OK to highlight it, but then I re-read his first article and saw links to his new article, so I figured it was fine to link to it.

Anyway, it's a good read. I still haven't had a chance to mess around with the application blocks yet, so it was news to me that the DAAB supported multiple database providers, and used interfaces and factories to manage that. Very cool. I ended up modifying V2 of the DAAB to do just that, so that the Tourney Pool Manager could support both Access and SQL Server databases. With some of the other integrations, and knowing this, it may be time to integrate the new EntLib into the Tourney Pool Manager.

Scott's comment took me back to my high school days - he (inadvertently, I think) called me by my last name. I've always gone by Joel, and the only person to ever call me by my last name was my soccer coach. And it was usually when he was yelling at me across the field!
