NHibernate with ASP.NET Problem Design Solution [EPUB ebook] 

This Wrox Blox demonstrates how to start using NHibernate in line
business applications using ASP.NET and VB.NET. Using NHibernate
will speed up your application development by removing the need to
build your own Data Access Layer (DAL). In addition, you can focus
solely on the business problem instead of the infrastructure
concerns. Using a simple demo application as an example, this Wrox
Blox shows how easy it is to get started with NHibernate and build
your DAL in minutes instead of hours. Readers will also see how the
POCO pattern enables you to keep your DAL as unobtrusive as
possible as well as being interchangeable for future DAL
implementations. You will also see how NHibernate has many
enterprise patterns built into it, like the Unit of Work pattern
and the Identity Map.
