6.5. Summary
You're probably a little overwhelmed by all the new concepts we introduced in this chapter. You may have to read it a few times, and we encourage you to try the code (and watch the SQL log). Many of the strategies and techniques we've shown in this chapter are key concepts of object/relational mapping. If you master collection mappings, and once you've mapped your first parent/children entity association, you'll have the worst behind you. You'll already be able to build entire applications!
