Book Club Anyone?
The idea of a book club came up in the last meet up.
The suggested book is The Art of Unit Testing by Roy Osherove.
The idea is to read a chapter a week and discuss (and the perhaps write about it?)
There are two things I would like to know
1) How do we do the discuss every week? I would prefer an online way so it easier, tho I recon disucssing in person will make the commitment more meaningful.
2) and most importantly Who’s in?
PS: I might be able to get the ebook from manning for free if we actually review the book once we are finished. ( I ll update with this info)
Wednesday 19th August 7pm @ The Vaults – ORM
Hi all:
In our next meetup Andrew Smith will talk about NHiberntate ORM. IN his own words:
Introduction to NHibernate. A practical guide to getting up and running with the basics of NHibernate. Few slides, lots of code! We’ll start from scratch and show how to configure NHibernate using the various configuration options available – Xml, ActiveRecord and (hopefully) fluent NHibernate. I’ll show the basics of querying and data manipulation and point out some of the common gotchas that can trip you up as you first start to use it.
Would welcome a hand from anyone who has experience using fluent NHibernate and/or NHibernate.Linq and can offer to talk briefly about them
The meet up is Wednesday the 19th of August @ 7pm in The Vaults. If you are plannig to attend please complete this form ( this is another test as eventbrite didnt seem to work for us really).
Cheers
