On my current project, in true Agile fashion, we had avoided using a database because we didn’t need one. Eventually, we had requirements for storing data that was coming from an external source, and at this point we had to start making decisions on how we would move forward. We had kept our project “lean” and the biggest concern I had was not introducing a build step that would include installing MySQL or something else that would drastically depart from our build environment.

I have been asked a few times on the Dragon Age forums how to make the main character use the Qunari type that Sten has.

As I’m introducing myself to the .Net Framework so that I’m not bound to working only on Java projects, I quickly ran into registering COM objects on a remote host. I didn’t realize until a day or so into my problem that the reason I didn’t have a problem on my development environment was that the register for COM property of the project was checked. Obviously a real development effort would include an installer or setup package of some type, but this was just some quick work to create sample code for a learning course. While it seems like it is going to be a case of the blind leading the blind, I appreciate the opportunity to delve into something different, even if it is under the steel curtain of Microsoft. I finally decided to take the middle road (also known as doing things “half-assed”) and write some VBScript that will register my custom application component libraries I create to customize the application. It’s crude and I am embarrassed that this is my first code post but it’s something.
