Welcome To TechSolus
What's A Techsolus?
A bloke in Bolton, a computer and 23 years of experience in the IT industry. I are be mostly a
programmer using C# .NET, SQL, and web page front ends. Currently I'm getting to grips with MVC,
a lot of Javascript and JQuery, APIs such as Amazon and PayPal, and Razor pages.
So What's This Website?
This is my brain dump. I learned a LONG time ago there is simply too much to know in IT. There's no
way I can remember EVERYTHING. I use this space to keep my notes and code samples to act as a reminder
of the things I know and some things that I've forgotten I know.

This is NOT a "drag-n-drop" div, rather a div that a user can position on the page where they see fit by dragging it with their mouse. VERY SIMPLE
SQL SUM of Non Normalised Column
Getting Normalised SUMS from a non normalised table can be tricky... This seems to work fine. Be curious to see how slow it is on a BIG dataset though.
