Hey ALT.NETters! Let's talk about the November 30th meeting... Location... Right now I don't have a location picked out because I wanted to pick something that...
Hi Jeremy, a few of us work and live near or in Cranberry Township. Rick From: PittsburghAltNet@yahoogroups.com [mailto:PittsburghAltNet@yahoogroups.com] On...
Sounds like we're gravitating towards north of the city. Does anyone have a good suggestion for somewhere that would fit our needs up there? Coffee shop?...
Hope everyone had a good holiday. Even though I live up in the North Hills, unfortunately I can't make too many good recommendations. Normally when I go out...
The more I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering if a coffee shop may not be a bad choice at least for the first few meetings or so. It would give us a chance to...
Starbucks probably isn't a magnet Friday night destination for most; well, at least until closing time to sober up. Sounds like a good location choice. ...
Sounds like we're getting more of a consensus. I'm game for Starbucks for the convenience and potential lack of crowds. Here's a Starbucks on McKnight road......
Sounds like a good location - anytime in the evening works for me. Matt ... Sounds like a good location - anytime in the evening works for me. Matt On Nov 26,...
Sounds we like have a consensus! Our first meeting will be Friday, November 30th at 6PM at the Starbucks on McKnight road. We'll be talking about ideas for the...
We have a location for our first meeting!!! We'll be meeting at the Starbucks on McKnight road, this Friday (November 30) at 6PM. We'll be talking about...
Jeremy, Great job putting this together. I'm really looking forward to it. There seems to be two starbucks on McKnight Rd. Which one were you thinking of: ...
Google maps puts them in sort of the wrong spots, but the one further south at the intersection of Siebert and McKnight (Starbucks on the left if heading...
Just a reminder... We'll be having our first Pittsburgh ALT.NET meeting tonight at the Starbucks on McKnight Road at 6PM. You can find directions here... ...
I was able to find my old notes from when we were evaluating O/R mappers. Along with Ibatis.net and nHibernate, the other products that had made it onto our ...
Thanks Matt! I think I'm going to investigate Ibatis further. Rick From: PittsburghAltNet@yahoogroups.com [mailto:PittsburghAltNet@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Hey guys, I added a resource page to our wiki listing links to a bunch of the different technologies we talked about Friday night (thanks for posting all of...
Hi Jeremy, First, thanks for getting this started. I think it's pretty good idea. Regarding OR mappers, I think Castle's ActiveRecord deserves notable ...
Hi Gino, You're welcome, I'm just thrilled that I have other people to talk about alternative technologies with now :o) Thanks for the info about ActiveRecord,...
Gino, glad you found the user group.. I totally forgot to forward the link to you the other day as life/work happened when I got back to my desk. Many ...
Jeremy-- In regards to our talk last Friday about performance concerns with O/R mappers, I just thought of performance related scenario that I have run into in...
Gino, Active Record does seem to be somewhat more attractive than pure NHibernate, but in regards to Jim's research that revealed the performance hit on *dirty...
Rick, I agree. For me, AR is a no brainer choice for green field, but with legacy dbs, stuffed with stored procedures and/or triggers one has to be very...
Jim Thanks for the info, that's good to know. How difficult is it to write custom sprocs under NHibernate and refer to them with code. For example, in our...
Great explanation Gino! The *gist* would have to be deep thought on a per project basis if an ORM can be used effectively to reflect domain boundaries.. I...
There are a few reasons I don't really like the active record pattern. For one, all classes that must descend from the ActiveRecordBase class. If you look a...
Great point Tony about the leakage in the domain of an attribute-based map. It would seem that it would require, at least, an extra layer of abstraction ...
