Entity Framework: Ready for Primetime?
Entity Framework hit the development community in the 3.5 Service Pack, to the delight of some and the disdain of others. Facing withering criticism and the inevitable comparison to other, more mature O/R Mappers like NHibernate, developers are faced with the perennial choice for middleware technologies: invest and learn, or ignore?

This session will investigate what Entity Framework is (and what an O/R mapper is in general), how it works, and address the criticism leveled against it by the developer community.
