A Preview of the Data Mapping Application Block has been released on GotDot Net. I hadn’t heard of this block before and without looking at it I would say it is an attempt at a Object Relational Mapping (ORM) application block for Enterprise Library.
Last night at dinner the discussion turned to interview questions and how hard interviews are at different places. Nino had interviewed me when I first applied for GA Sullivan (a company now assimilated into Avanade) and if I hadn’t been studying for my MCSD at the time for VB6 I don’t think I would have been hired. Nino had a vicious reputation at GA for giving some rough interviews. I think he made a few people cry.
Last night was the Nerd Dinner. Only Ben, Nino and I showed (that we know of), but it was a good time for sure. Lots of discussion on projects, processes, Whidbey and the joys (or lack there of) of CAML. Definately good company. Maybe next time we’ll get more people, but even if we don’t I’m sure we’ll still have a good time.
