I’m happy to announce that as of now the next installment of the Summer of NHibernate screencast series is available for general download from the Main Site.
In this installment we dig into the strategies for modeling object inheritance hierarchies in our database schema using either of NHibernate’s two approaches to this challenge: Table-Per-Class-Hierarchy or Table-Per-SubClass.
We [...]

In case you haven’t already heard, effective immediately NHibernate 2.0 has been released and is available for download on SourceForge!  This effectively brings NHibernate into feature-parity with the Java Hibernate 3.2 codebase, which is tremendous news for us NHibernate users.

The latest installment of the Summer of NHibernate screencast series is now available for download from the Summer of NHibernate main site.  In this session we catch up on some odds and ends from miscellaneous user requests for topics that weren’t really part of the originally-planned curriculum.

The next installment of the Summer of NHibernate Screencast series is now available for general download!
In this session we explore the NHibernate SchemaExport class and start to exercise its ability to generate our database schema directly from our hbm.xml mapping files.  In addition, we touch briefly on some of the relative advantages of DDD (Domain [...]

In a number of the installments of the Summer of NHibernate screencast series, I have repeatedly made the assertion that when one makes a change to an embedded resource in their Visual Studio project, the developer [...]

The prolific writer Arthur C. Clark once (famously) wrote:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

As software developers, we are presented just about daily with such ’sufficiently advanced’ technology — the world of what one could know about software engineering techniques, languages, frameworks, databases, compilers, etc., etc., etc. is just so vast now that no [...]

The latest installment of the Summer of NHibernate screencast series is now available for download.
I will warn potential viewers in advance that this session is heavily focused on techniques and approaches that tend to contradict most Domain-Driven-Design/Development practices so please don’t waste your time telling me this — I know it already .  Leveraging NHibernate [...]

I am pleased to announce that I have now posted for download the latest installment of the Summer of NHibernate screencast series.  In this series we explore NHibernate’s support for many-to-many relationships in both our data and our object model, understand how to interact with views, and investigate some ideas about how to leverage NHibernate’s [...]
