Abstract: In this session we will explore both Object Relational Mappers (ORM) as well as ERD’s (Entity Relationship Diagrams) and how the Entity Framework utilizes these to give the .Net developer the tools necessary to build powerful enterprise applications.

About the Presenter: Former President INETA – North America, Former Microsoft Regional Director, Microsoft MVP ASP/ASP.Net , MCSD, MCT Before joining Microsoft, I held a variety of positions in the information technology and engineering fields. At Odyssey Consulting Group I served as Chief Architect and CEO. I was fortunate enough to be a Microsoft Regional Director, Microsoft MVP – ASP/ASP.Net , Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) and an MCSD as well as a .Net Insider for the Southern California Region. I have always been active in the developer community and was the Co-Founder of the SoCalDotNet Developers Group. I had the unique opportunity to serve as President of INETA, the international .Net association and enjoyed my time there immensely.

When not working on technical stuff, you can find me shooting away with my Cannon trying to get that “perfect” shot, or teaching a .NET Certification course at California State University Fullerton. To find out more about me, visit my blog, Dot Net Doc at www.DotNetDoc.com.
