Hi All,
I'm about to start working on a mid-sized data-centric app (accounting
area) which is mostly just lots of forms which display data, edit/write
data, and then spitting out some pretty reports, etc with the data
sitting in SQL Server. (Think of old-school MSaccess apps)
Wanting to avoid as much SQL plumbing as I can, I'm looking to use
nHibernate for a lot of the lifting, but haven't had a chance to look
around at perhaps some better packages/practices/etc which exist.
At this stage I have spent near zero time with Linq, and have only heard
of a few other packages in passing (Fluent/Active Record/etc), and am
wondering what (if anything) I should spend some time looking in to.
My query is:
- Is nHibernate still the way to go? What do the rest of the .NETters
use for their data access layers? And why? Is Linq worth the learning
curve?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
