This session shows how easy it is to build data aware applications for DNN developers. Microsoft and the community have done an amazing job at providing fully featured Data Access techniques that eliminate the need for writing tons of mundane mapping code that developers had to write in the past. This session covers DNN module development using LINQ to SQL, SubSonic, and NHibernate. The session focuses on the DNN integration and packaging of these controls. Techniques such as using TDD with MbUnit, Model View Presenter, and Dependency Injection will be shown.
