Generating code with AJGenesis using NHibernate hbm files
I was working on generating C# classes, using as starting point .hbm NHibernate mapping files. As usual, I wrote an example with AjGenesis, my open source code generation engine. You can download a first example from my Skydrive: Examples > AjGenesis > NHibernateMappingExample01.zip (the code is in the trunk, in

The beauty of Twitter: Example 1
I’m an avid user of Twitter. Usually, I use TweetDeck as client. Twitter is a simple idea (short messages, you can follow every user with public profile) that has changed the way we are interacting. In the software development arena, Twitter is a great complement (or complete replacement) to reading feeds. This is an example of its efectiveness.

NHibernate running in the Azure Cloud
Yesterday, I was talking with Fabio Maulo (@fabiomaulo) about many things, related to software development, teaching programming and, of course, NHibernate.

Fabio is collaborating with NHibernate project for years, and he is a recognized developer in the .NET software community. He told me details about a site built using NHibernate

That it has endured is a testament to the genius of its design. But the industry is now at a crossroads: New technologies promise higher-bandwidth interaction, but have yet to find a truly viable implementation. 10/GUI aims to bridge this gap by rethinking the desktop to leverage technology in an intuitive and powerful way.

Time for simplicity?
These days, Ted Neward wrote a very interesting post “Agile is treating the symptons, not the disease” quoting a phrase of Billy Hollis, from Patterns and Practice Submit this week in Redmond. I read: “A lot of software written back in the 90’s was written by 1 or 2 guys working for just a few months to slam something out and see if it was useful” “The problem is the complexity of
