Afterwordpart of SQL for Web Nerds by Philip Greenspun |

relational database management system for concurrency control and
transaction management. This power is useful for almost any activity in

If you aren't already saddled with a job, I encourage you to think about building Web services for collaboration, which I think are the most valuable things that we nerds can give to society.
