Whoa time flies! . After 9 months of hard work, LLBLGen Pro v2.0 has been released! LLBLGen Pro V2.0 comes with a new licensing scheme: it's now licensed per seat, instead of per-department. Current customers of v1.0.200x.y can upgrade for EUR 49.- per developer. (Designer using developers need a license...

Several days ago it finally arrived: Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns by Jimmy Nilsson ! It's Jimmy's latest book and it's great. Well, 'great' is not really the word, it's more a matter of Must Have , it's that good. It's perhaps a bit strange, to hear from me that a DDD/TDD book, which this...

Recently, Scott Guthrie blogged about using DLinq with ASP.NET . I read the interesting article and thought... that must be possible today, with code using normal .NET 2.0!

People on the DOTNET-CLR mailing list are already familiar with the problem, but looking at the reactions on Paschal's blogs I can only conclude that the rest of the world, including Microsoft, is in a severe...

Mads Haugbø Nissen blogs: I've tried to make a similar framework [as Paul Gielens has] but I'm leaning more and more towards discarding OR-mapping as an alternative.

I haven't played with the Firebird database recently but according to the features Interbase had and looking at what the...

In Ted Graham's blog this morning he wrote a little text about the debate that is starting to show up here and there: is there a move away from 'Stored Procedures' towards 'Dynamic Created Queries' ? I think there is. In the big, ugly Data Layer Generator/Toolkit debate over at the asp.net forums, there...
