A first post just to describe how this blog will work.  Predominantly its going to be a place to discuss what we at Sapere find interesting in the world of .NET, development and all its associated convuluted bolt ons and functionality.  At the moment were very interested in NHibernate and its application within enterprise apps. 

After initially using our own home rolled OR Mapper for the last 6 months we needed more functionality; and like any sensible developers decided not to reinvent the wheel.  We've found NHibernate, so far, to be powerful, full featured and most of all intuitive to those with an understanding of the underlying .NET framework.

The predominant problem with NHibernate is bad examples, out of date advice and a learning curve shaped like the Eiger. Hopefully forthcoming posts will remedy this...

More posts to follow with source code examples.
