I am going to try and do a better job capturing what we talk about and blog the notes the day of the VBB.

We started the VBB off with me doing a walkthrough of some of the learning tests and blog posts surrounding MongoDB and NoRM.

• MongoDB : http://www.mongodb.org/
• NoRM (pronounced no-ORM and not norm) : http://github.com/atheken/NoRM

My blog posts can be found here:

Learning Mongo DB and NoRM : http://www.theabsentmindedcoder.com/2010/05/learning-mongo-db-and-norm.html Basic NoRM Ids : http://www.theabsentmindedcoder.com/2010/05/basic-norm-ids.html And you can get all the code in my learning git hub repository found @ http://github.com/RookieOne/Learning

Azam from High On Coding shared via chat his learning project called SKOOL. It combines MongoDB and MVC and can be found @ http://github.com/azamsharp/SKOOL

Azam wanted to communicate that it is in the very early stages.

George Mauer shared some NHibernate Internals focusing on the AbstractEntityPersister. George also shared some of the Dynamic Property support built into NHibernate.

Chad (sorry I forgot to write down his last name) showed off his first experiments with Moles. Moles is an Isolation framework for .Net provided by Microsoft Research.

And at the end I briefly shared my Extension Methods post : http://www.theabsentmindedcoder.com/2010/05/using-extension-methods-to-remove.html

Claudio promised to share some of his dynamic goodness that he is presenting at Dallas this week.

As for me, I will continue to do my thing and share whatever is on my mind.
