In this chapter, you’ll find recipes showing several of the basic programming constructs available in T-SQL. The chapter is not a complete tutorial for the language, however. You’ll need to read other books for that. A good tutorial, if you need one that begins with first principles, is Beginning T-SQL by Kathi Kellenberger and Scott Shaw (Apress, 2014).

Chapter 2: Elementary Programming

Many modern programming languages now support the object-oriented paradigm. Object orientation is an alternative way of designing and implementing programs. Within the object-oriented paradigm, programmers model things known as classes and then use these within a program by creating instances of these classes known as objects. PHP supports the creation of classes and the implementation of objects and enables the programmer to develop object-oriented programs. In this chapter we shall describe the concept of object orientation and provide some examples of what aspects of the paradigm PHP supports.
