Oct 10	comment	Whether to put the business logic in Stored Procedure or Not? +1 for the need for source control with stored procs if you are going to use them heavily. Many DBAs that I've worked with are very resistant to this idea.

However, sharing code using the data layer has always seemed a bit dangerous to me. If you have multiple consumers of a given piece of logic / data then I'd rather put a service in front of it versus having multiple consumers of the same database.
Oct 10	comment	Whether to put the business logic in Stored Procedure or Not? What happens when someone joins the team and you tell them this rule? How are they supposed to know where something "fits better"? This almost seems like a non-rule to me. Very subjective based on the individual.

Sep 27	comment	Best books on the theory and practice of software architecture? +1 the Bass book was a good read when I started getting into architecture. It is a bit dry but it gives you an idea of the kinds of things you should be thinking about.
