NHibernate with ASP.NET Problem Design Solution

This Wrox Blox demonstrates how to start using NHibernate in linebusiness applications using ASP.NET and VB.NET. Using NHibernatewill speed up your application development by removing the need tobuild your own Data Access Layer (DAL). In addition, you can focussolely on the business problem instead of the infrastructureconcerns. Using a simple demo application as an example, this WroxBlox shows how easy it is to get started with NHibernate and buildyour DAL in minutes instead of hours. Readers will also see how thePOCO pattern enables you to keep your DAL as unobtrusive aspossible as well as being interchangeable for future DALimplementations. You will also see how NHibernate has manyenterprise patterns built into it, like the Unit of Work patternand the Identity Map.
