Heya gurus...i dunno how to start this thread of mine..heck i'll start giving a little backgrounder about myself..i'm an application developer that specializes in .net applications who loves the microsoft application blocks...however, upon stumbling upon the OR Mapper technology, and how llblgen (as sites say) cuts the data access layer development time in half, i'm very much willing to learn the technology and its craft. however, i really don't know where to start...i mean, reading on the hundreds of blogs and forums concerning llblgen codes on PL and BLs, i really don't know what's happening but when I try to read on the examples and the code snippets..i tend to really find myself just staring at the monitor and end up not remembering what I was doing (hahahahha..space cadet come back!!!)

Anyways, embracing a new technolgy is not hard...but getting started is..so i'm thinking what sites to start on? I'm reading a lot about Entity Collections, Typed List, etc but I can't find a site where they're discussed and defined..is there a free documentation for these?

Hope you guys can help me..m kinda implementing a solution using llblgen and the application architecture is already signed-off so there's no turning back

I was trying to find a training center here in Manila but to no luck, I couldn't find any.

Thanks in advance.

start by looking at the sample application and the How Do I Section in Best practises of the documentation. Though it comes down to how you design your overall functionality in your application. In there, you require at different points data from the database and have to store data in the database. At these points you need to use the generated code.
