NHibernate 3.0 Cookbook

nhibernateNHibernate is a really great ORM solution, but there isn’t a lot of information out there. As far as I know, they were only 2 NHibernate books published. First you had the NHibernate in Action book from Manning and recently you had the NHibernate beginners guide from Packt. Both are really useful books and a must read if you start using NHibernate.

So I was really happy last week to read that a new book about NHibernate has been published by www.packtpub.com.  The book is called “NHibernate 3.0 Cookbook” and as it covers NHibernate 3.0 it is really up to date.

Overview of NHibernate 3.0 Cookbook

  • Master the full range of NHibernate features
  • Reduce hours of application development time and get better application architecture and performance
  • Create, maintain, and update your database structure automatically with the help of NHibernate
  • Written and tested for NHibernate 3.0 with input from the development team distilled in to easily accessible concepts and examples
  • Part of Packt's Cookbook series: each recipe is a carefully organized sequence of instructions to complete the task as efficiently as possible

To make this even better, Packt are offering all members of the NHibernate community 20% off the book. To get your exclusive 20% discount when you buy through PacktPub.com, just enter the discount code NHIBCBK20 (case sensitive), to the shopping cart.

This will be the next one on my reading list…

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

VS Code Planning mode

After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
