ORM Goodness
So I’ve been learning recently about NHibernate which is an ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tool for .NET, it is open source and it’s based on Hibernate (for Java). Basically what it allows you to persist your .NET objects which I call POCOs (Plain Old C# Objects) to a database, it’s been fun learning about the technology specially since the .NET 3.5 is almost out and I would like to see how it would compare to NHibernate. I found this really good screen cast about using TDD (Test Driven Design).
I would say it’s a pretty good screen cast that will teach you how to setup a test project for your NHibernate architecture, and might teach you a thing or two about TDD.
There are a few things I still need to find out more with this technology like mapping objects to multiple tables, hopefully I’ll find out more and write a post about here soon. In the mean time go and watch this helpful screen cast.
