NHibernate 3 – ASP.NET MVC2 Music Store

NHibernate

To learn more about ASP.NET MVC2 and NHibernate 3, I’ve built up the ASP.NET MVC Music Store sample app using NHibernate 3.  I covered some good ground from NHibernate 3’s Loquacious configuration API to some XML tweaks and using an IoC container (Ninject) to manage dependencies.

Parts 1 – 6 are up, I still have some work to do before it’s truly finished:

Part 1 – Removing EF4 and Replacing the ObjectContext:
