XDDN around Australia

2012-04-13 Thread David Burela 
To try and streamline the XDDN groups around Australia, I have been working
with the organisers to create a few central locations for everything.
*(For those unfamiliar with XDDN, it is a usergroup that focuses on UX,
Design and Development on Microsoft UI platforms. Such as Win8, WinPhone7,
HTML5, etc.)*

*Twitter:* https://twitter.com/@XDDN_AU https://twitter.com/#!/XDDN_AU
*Melbourne: *http://www.meetup.com/Melbourne-XDDN/
*Sydney: *http://www.meetup.com/Sydney-XDDN/
*Perth: *http://www.meetup.com/Perth-XDDN/

The main reason for moving everything to Meetup is that it allows everyone
to easily see upcoming events and get automatically notified when new
events are created.
Having XDDN use Meetup.com also supports my other goals of getting more
people involved with their local development communities. Joining the
groups will allow you to easily find other local groups that you may want
to attend, such as Agile or Alt.Net groups.

Please join the group for your city, as the old event sites (such as
EventBrite) will be slowly decommissioned over the next few weeks.

Re: Dump EntityFramework for LLBLGen

There are limitations to EF. A project here was started with ef but soon ran 
into obstacles when the number of tables mapped was greater than the number 
possible in ef.  It's now using hand written dal that is a damn sight faster as 
well. 

EF / NHibernate are tools, use the right tool for the right job.

One Word: EF Code First! and I haven't looked back ever since.
DAL is dead, Long live Entities

 Would save me a step(time) using EF in vs 2010 instead of generate DAL
 using LLblgen

 Anyone have an opinion on this?
