ORM Comparison Part II
Part II of the Southeast Valley .NET User Group ORM comparison happened yesterday. It started off nice and calm but ended with a bang or two. No there were no fight or arguments between the presenters or attendees but mother nature let loose on the Phoenix area last night. Especially during Scott Cate's presentation that happened to be going over on time. A huge thunder clap ended his presentation :) . Represented at this part was LLBGen Pro, NHibernate, ActiveRecord, QuickObjects and EasyDB.
Over the two months/meetings of presentations we saw how different technologies provide database access from .NET to different data stores. Thanks to the following for presenting.
| Presenter | Technology |
| LINQ Overview | Adam Wolf |
| LINQ to SQL | Adam Wolf |
| LINQ to Entities | Rob Richardson |
| QuickObjects | Ish Singh |
| Subsonic | Saul Mora |
| netTiers | Brad Mead |
| NHibernate | Aaron Cure |
| ActiveRecord | Justin James |
| LLBGen Pro | Scott Cate |
| Easy DB | Scott Cate |

It was a great event but if we had to do it over again we would make it longer. In fact there have been talk about making this a web cast series. If you are interested in seeing this as a web cast series, post a comment here, contact me, or send an email to your local Microsoft developer evangelist.
