I will be speaking at the Richmond Code Camp in Richmond, VA on Oct 3, 2009. My topic will be "Examining Linq2Sql & Entity Framework." It will start with a brief history of ORM and then do a walkthrough of of both Linq2Sql and the Entity Framework. I will go over similarities and differences of the two technologies as well as the common ‘gotchas’ associated with either solution. I will also explain what it would take to migrate an application from Linq2Sql to the Entity Framework as well as some of the upcoming features in Entity Framework 4.
