Primer notes for Autumn of Agile: Iteration 0 - Part A

Several suggestions were offered to me by readers when I was trying to decide how best to structure the Autumn of Agile screencast series.  One of the challenges of this screencast series is that unlike the previous Summer of NHibernate series that focuses on just a single technology for its entire length, the Autumn of [...]

T4 Templating Engine to the Rescue (sort of~!)

Its somewhat funny to me how the usual ‘knock’ against Open Source Software is the poor quality of the documentation that often accompanies it.  “Why can’t we have professional quality, comprehensive documentation for these OSS projects just like the really solid, professional quality documentation that comes from — oh, I don’t know — Microsoft for [...]

Summer of NHibernate Session 13: Managing Session Lifecycle in a Stateless Web Application (corrected) is available

After a bit of trouble today, I have now re-encoded the installment for the above-referenced screencast.  I’m still not entirely certain how this happened, but somehow Camtasia Studio decided to silently truncate the final five minutes or so of the screencast during the encoding process.  Since I’ve never had any trouble with Camtasia Studio in [...]

Summer of NHibernate Feedback: this isn’t real!
During my production of the Summer of NHibernate screencast series, I have routinely received questions from viewers that tend to want me to dig into more real-world issues that come into play in the development of a non-demo/non-sample application.  Since the focus of the code samples in the NHibernate [...]
