Preface

Connecting the object-oriented world of .NET to the relational world of databases has always been a fiddly issue. With the onset of ORMs, such as NHibernate, developers have got some relief in this area. However, using NHibernate without understanding its core features, and how they work, can always lead to more fiddly code and frustration. Learning how to use NHibernate in practical scenarios with the help of proven patterns and techniques goes a long way to building a robust data access layer. Knowing the best practices of designing a data access layer with NHibernate, before you start your next project, will help you to avoid any problems and deliver a successful project.
