First, love your blog/podcast! I'm just starting out in C#/MVC in VS2010 Express. I mess around as a hobby :).
The whole ORM thing is a bit confusing. Conceptually I understand what an ORM does. It's the glue between the classes presented in my app and the DB behind it. I was hoping there'd be some more detail in this podcast about EF vs Linq vs Nhibernate. I noticed you converted Nerddinner.com over to EF from Linq, was there a compelling reason for this? Or was it just "EF is cool?"
As it stands now I have no idea why I'd seek out and use Nhibernate vs EF/Linq given that support for EF/Linq is built-in out of the box. Nhibernate seems great, I just don't understand the implied gain vs EF/Linq I guess.
I'm going to "Google with Bing" and see if I can get some kind of coherent answer out of the interweb about these ORMs and thier mission.
Again, Love the blog/podcast keep up the good work!
