Holiday reading update

I just had a look at the .NET Stock Trader sample application. Wow, it included some great features such as virtualization of service endpoints, a configuration management system etc. This stuff should considered when I develop my next distributed system.

On another note I have really started digging IoC containers like Castle Windsor. And LINQ to XML. The Entity Framework I am not too excited about and what I've heard about Oslo sounds like something from the MDA era and the reason why it failed.

For ORM-mapping I think my options today are (depending on project and complexity...):

NHibernate
.netTiers
d00dads

Rhino Mocks looks like a great tool too I think I will use it soon.
