DISCLAIMER: this is a bitter post. If you get offended by this post, I'm sorry, though I had to write this. If you want to leave a comment, please do so, but as it's my blog, I'll remove comments which I think are inappropriate The last month or so I...

I'll host a chalk & talk session at the upcoming Dutch CodeCamp on May 12th. The title is O/R mapping and Architecture , and as my session is the first of 3 sessions, the others are held by Alex Thissen and Paul Gielens , we will align our sessions...
