NHibernate & Hibernate Dox

I’ve said it before: NHibernate’s documentation sucks.  It’s written in a confusing fashion and there are numerous sections still unwritten.

Make sure to check out the Hibernate documentation page here.  It’s very clearly written, has a consistent example carried through the sections (so far, at least), and most importantly, discusses all the schema elements and attributes.  There are also very good explanations of the various relationship types (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many, etc.) and how to implement them.

Sure, the documentation is Java-centric, but the concepts are explained so clearly that it’s easy to mentally translate over to C#.

Now Playing: The Who — Face Dances. This is somewhat popish, especially when you compare it to their older work, but I love it for one reason: Townsend’s amazing guitar work, especially the simple, clear riffs on Don’t Let Go the Coat.  Another Tricky Day is full of more great stuff, too.  Something else has amazed me over The Who’s long career: the utterly crisp clarity of the recordings of theirs I’ve heard.  The coin dropping and footsteps in The Music Must Change (Who Are You) has stuck with me since I first heard that albumn when it was first released way back when.
