Hey all,

i think it would be a good idea if we could list some interesting NHibernate topics that you can blog about on NHForge (and on your own blogs), or that you'd like to see someone else blog about.

I currently have the following nhibernate posts on my TODO list:

1) exploring NHibernate statistics
2) getting up to speed with the second level cache
3) playing around with stateless sessions (comparing the performance to regular sessions etc...)

What else would you guys like to see posts about? Or what would you like to write posts about?

2. Eventlisteners and some cool places to use them
3. NHibernate validators

The numbers should have been 4 and 5 respectively.

This is not technical but promotional: success stories or big companies that use NH.

when i've composed an NH presentation this was supposed to be the last slide but after
looking at the forum at that topic i found either broken links or anonymous websites that use it.
Google searches didn't bring much up either.

as per promotional, comparisons and concerns amongst other ORM s could be included, would be nice. They are usually the posts those pull interest to a blog even more than the deep technical ones.

Right, in order to sell NH we need some concrete firms that uses this.

I have some plan but you know.... is better if I write C# and somebody else (with a real English) write some good article.
NHForge have around 20 blogger...
Theme of interest :
- what mean each property of configuration (take a look to the list available in intellisense)
- typedef
- tuplizers
- lazy=extra
- EntityMode.Map (and coming soon EntityMode.Xml)
- <natural-id>

As you know there is no problem for cross-posting in NHForge.
Who need an help, know where find me.(who=NHForge bloggers)

And of course it would be better if those articles could contain Real Life samples other than (customer-employee or blog-post) kind of things(I am not good at reallife application samples, though)

Most real life examples are not good at being examples.
You need specialized domain knowledge to understand them and their interactiosn.

If who write the blog-post have time to think about a real-life app ok... if not, there is no problem ;)
Foo-bar-blog and so on are good because far of any opinion about app design...

I think the ones that you generally use in your blog posts are simplified versions of real life situations. This is what I am talking about.

Sure, I am not saying they are bad, they are more than useful, but i sometimes need concrete examples to get the idea better.

Leveraging NHibernate in n-tier, on occasionally connected and disconnected systems can be another good series of posts.

Discussing lazy loading, second level cache etc. around these also will be appreciated by the newcomers to get up to speed quickly.

Hibernating Rhinos and Summer of NH had good effect in this similar context, it could also be considered to turn similar concept into blog posts. (just brainstorming)

This rocks!
You prefer writing C# but you are also good at blog writing, and your English is good!

Any word on a css style that we can use across all wiki pages for code? I'd really like to post the docbook stuff.

Tuna,
Mine are generally made up scenarios that show an extremely simplified version of what I am doing at the moment.

Beside the point, I run into the constant projection in the order clause today, thanks for fixing it. That was sweat

I know, extremely simplified but generally gives some clues, and i usually recall your posts when i face some issue, when learning.

And your welcome, the credits should also go to Jaroslav(Jarda) as well, we solved the issue in exactly the same way.
