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…

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
