Line Rider is an online game developed in September 2006 by a university student in Slovenia (and was originally released in deviantART) where players draw a track and then ride it with a sled. Players can draw a surface on the given interface for a little character on a sled to slide upon. Just click on the play button (triangle pointing to the right) after drawing the surface to watch the ride. Bosh, the little character on the sled, will ride down the tracks that were drawn using gravity. When the ride is too rough, he will fall off the track though he can also make jumps. There are three kinds of track, blue tracks are normal, red tracks accelerate the sled and green lines are for scenery. The objective of the game is to design creative tracks and share them with other users. No registration is needed to play this unique and fun webtoy.

The Structured Query Language (SQL) contains one of the basic building blocks of contemporary database architecture. SQL defines the methods used to make and manipulate relational databases on all major platforms. At first glance, the language may seem threatening and complex but it’s really not all that bad. In a series of articles over the next few weeks we’ll explore the inner workings of SQL jointly. By the time we’re through, you’ll have the primary knowledge you need to go out there and begin working with databases!

By the way, the correct articulation of SQL is a controversial issue within the database community. In their SQL criterion, the American National Standards Institute declared that the official pronunciation is “es queue el.” However, many database professionals have taken to the slang pronunciation “sequel.” The option is yours.
