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.

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         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
