Topic
I will present an introduction to NHibernate and Fluent NHibernate.
This introduction will not only discuss NHibernate in isolation but
show its usage embedded in a realistic yet simple WPF application. All
aspects of how to setup, run and extend such an application will be
discussed. An important focus will be put on the differences between
testing and running the application.
Bio
After receiving my Ph.D. of Physics at the Federal Institute of
Technologies in Zurich, Switzerland, I worked for some time in
building physics, and subsequently moved to behavioral science. Among
other things, I was involved in training expert examiners of different
industries in how to write and take exams that are fair and really
test the relevant aspects of their profession.
In 1996, I started as an independent consultant, mentor, trainer and
developer. In 2001, a partner and I founded a small software company.
We have been writing customer specific software for all kinds of
industries as well as for the government.
Since March 2009, I have been working as a senior software architect
for TOPAZ Technologies in Austin, TX. I moved to Austin in October
2009.
I have been working on the .NET platform in my professional work since
2000. I am the author of the NHibernate FAQ blog and am a member of
"Los Techies". I have also published several articles on
DotNetSlackers about NHibernate and Fluent NHibernate.
What is VAN?
Virtual
ALT.NET (VAN) is the online gathering place of the
ALT.NET
community. Through conversations, presentations, pair programming and
programming dojo’s, we strive to improve, explore, and challenge the
way we create software. Using net conferencing technology such as
Skype and LiveMeeting, we hold regular meetings, open to anyone,
usually taking the form of a presentation or an Open Space Technology-
style conversation.
Please see the Calendar to find a VAN group that meets at a time
convenient to you, and feel welcome to join a meeting. Past sessions
can be found on the Recording page.
To stay informed about VAN activities, you can subscribe to the
Virtual
ALT.NET (VAN) Google Group and follow the Virtual
