The Currency Data Type and VertiPaq Caching

It's been a while since I published my last blog post. That's not for lack of topics to write, but rather for lack of spare time. I switched from a developer role to a development lead role a year and a half ago, while life has always been busy at Microsoft, the extra responsibilities in the new role had put too much on my plate. Moreover there have been a lot of changes here at Microsoft to get the company transition into a "devices and services" company, the flurry of initiatives and refocuses has kept many people extra busy in the past year.
