Core NHibernate: Persistence with NHibernate

Ayende Rahien (author of Rhino Mocks, one of the most popular mocking frameworks on the .NET platform, and a leading figure in other well known open source projects including the Castle project and NHibernate) will teach this 3-day introductory NHibernate course. Come join us and learn how to use this O/R mapping tool efficiently in your applications to save time and effort on communicating with database storage. During the course, we will work together to build a simple practical application that demonstrates all important data management patterns.

* Manage sessions and transactions
* Map objects and collections to database structures
* Use NHibernate Castle integration facilities
* Improve performance with advanced caching and loading options
