So we showed Microsoft Entity Framework 4.0 and NHibernate. My part was NHibernate and Rene showed EF. In the first presentation which was on 16th August 2010, we presented the following stuff: Introduction into ORM Theory (ORM impedance mismatch, persistence ignorance and ORM isn’t a silver bullet) Approaches how to map…
