[ciapug] Propel

[Carl Olsen]

I've got PHING, CREOLE, and PROPEL installed and I'm just now looking at the
bookstore/schema.xml file.  This looks a lot like ADO.NET programming.  What
I always find most interesting is how all the languages are really doing the
same thing but in different ways.  I just finished a C# project where I
created a schema that looks like this one using the DataTable objects in
ADO.NET.  In that application, I read email addresses from config.ini file
and then read each line into an array that then goes into a DataTable
object.  During the process, I use some DNS and string manipulation classes
to check for valid domain names.  I set up the columns in the ADO.NET
DataTable object the same way these columns are set up in this schema.xml
file.  That's interesting.
