Working with NHibernate 3.0 review
I am proud to be the author of this book. It took a lot of effort to write,
review and create the sample program used within it. It not only took
effort from myself, but many others, such as editors, layout and technical
staff. It is a journey to write a book.
Working with NHibernate 3.0 utilizes NHibernate version 3.2 to create a
Guitar Store program which supports the creation, modification and deletion
of inventory using the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) framework.
Based on the .NET 4.0 Framework, you are walked through the creation of
the database (this book uses the database first approach), the creation
of the mapping and class files and then the implementation of them into
the WPF.
What’s special in this book is that it’s written in a workbook format from
start to finish. This means that there are step-by-step instructions
presented for, not only the creation of the classes, but the implementation
of them. Personally, I find many books provide examples on how to make a
function that will use LINQ, ICriteria or IQuery, but few will show you,
in detail, how to implement them into a working program. This is something
I have not seen, in regards to any NHibernate books I’ve seen so far.
Lastly, I provided some good examples on using Futures to batch multiple
queries together, saving round-trips to the database, a counter which helps
you view how many times a transaction made a request to the database and
the ability to view the NHibernate generated code, in real time. These
things are valuable for beginners and advanced users.
I cover most of the features available and give working examples of them.
From IQuery, ICriteria, ICriteria with QueryOver, LINQ to NHibernate, LINQ
to NHibernate using Lambda Expressions. I alos cover some of the more
“implementation specific” concepts such as inserting data and how to
insert a parent/child relationship properly.
The last chapter discusses how to reuse the classes and mappings in an MVC
3 ASP.NET website. I suggest you look at this, it provides a description
of the session per web-request implementation.
Overall, I think beginners who want to get started with NHibernate or
advanced user who want get news ideas will benefits from this book.

This is a good book and a must own if you plan to implement NHibernate or
want to increase your knowledge of it. It is also a good resource for a
study in ORM (Object Relationship Model) concepts. I have been using
NHibernate for a while now and sometimes think I know it all. However,
when I run into a roadblock, I still have it on my desk and I can and
do still reference it from time to time. Even after using NHibernate
for so long. Even with the release of NHibernate 3.0 I sugest getting
this one.

This book is full of C# code examples and implementation techniques. It is a good supliment to get along
with NHibernate in Action. This book touches on most of the compents of this huge framework with a
series of How To's and best practise suggestions.

This book, although written in Java, is one of my favorites. Object-oriented
concepts can be applied across most object-oriented languages. I was able to
follow along with this book and work the examples in C#. 2 things I really
like about this book. 1. Is that the way it is written makes it a very easy
read. The conepts are explained like they happened in a real working
environment. 2. They start the project with a good working example of a
system and then walk through a series of iterations until you get to a really
good designed system. By doing this you can see mistakes that can be made and,
of course, when you can spot a design mistake, you can avoid problems or difficulties.
Buy it and work the examples...but do it in C#!! :-)
