Second day, and it is a better day.
First I am feeling much better, the keynote headache is gone, and I got enough energy to get me trough the day and the party of course.
And the day still got better with this session.
The session was high pace, but still Pablo the lecturer was clear and focused, and barely made it all in time.
I got to admit Entity framework is a technology I just didn't had the time to use and play with it. I came to this session to understand what is going on with all the OR-mapping technologies that recently popped out like fresh mushroom after rain.
I didn't know when we are supposed to user SqlMetal mapping and when entity framework (short answer, simple scenarios use Linq mapping, customized model over various DB vendors, use Entity framework).
So as you can see by now I do have my answers and even more, I got the feeling that I saw some of the features already but still the session got a very clear flow, and features like using Sprocs with the Entity framework were very informative.
I liked that Pablo is live coding, and I really admire people that have the guts to do that, hell I try to do that when I lecture.
So if you missed that one, see the recording if it's already available.
