Fluent NHibernate new style mappings - powerful semantics

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 01:01:06 GMT

So today I updated to the latest build of Fluent NHibernate. As any of you who might have done the same have discovered there are some breaking changes. I wasn't sure I liked the new class based conventions at first, especially since it wasn't clear at first how to tackle altering my mappings. Then it dawned on me how powerful the conventions would end up being while also promoting DRY.

Linq Framework Design Guidelines - evolve into optimized frameworks

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:08:03 GMT

This is from the team that brought you 'Framework Design Guidelines' led by Krzysztof Cwalina, an individual we are not shy to recognize as an amazing mind. Look for this content (as shared here from their internal work) in the next of the book For example : defer execution of query operator implementations.

However, if you don't like this behavior, MEF provides several extension points you can use to provide a different interface into MEF.
