| Oct 31, 2010 at 20:35 | comment | added | alternative | "new cutting-edge programming techniques" - techniques have nothing to do with platform or language. | |
| Oct 31, 2010 at 14:47 | comment | added | Robert Harvey | @mathepic: Actually they are new to .NET, which is what this post is about. | |
| Oct 31, 2010 at 12:46 | comment | added | alternative | None of those are actually branch new, just brand new to C#. | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 21:22 | comment | added | HLGEM | I would never trust my complex database queries to the crap that an ORM writes, It's fine for simple stuff, but ugh for reporting type queries. Again, in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing ORM is a good thing, in the hands of someone who is too lazy to understand databases, disaster ahead. | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 20:58 | comment | added | Aaronaught | I think somebody took offense to the ORM vs. raw SQL comment. It wasn't me; I use both, and I understood the remark as being tongue-in-cheek. | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 20:19 | comment | added | Paul Nathan | Yes. I write raw SQL. I don't see the point of ORM "big iron" in what I'm doing. | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 19:48 | comment | added | Robert Harvey | Downvote? Really? | |

| Sep 21, 2010 at 19:31 | comment | added | John M Gant | And, yes, I still write raw SQL queries. Not all of us have a cutting-edge DBMS or access to good ORM tools. | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 19:30 | comment | added | John M Gant | +1 for the "makes you a better programmer" argument. Understanding linq and especially the methods that support it has definitely improved my grasp of some very helpful programming concepts. | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 19:29 | comment | added | Fosco | Raw SQL is the best bet if you know what you're doing. | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 18:13 | comment | added | Mason Wheeler | Me too. Have you seen the crap that ORMs tend to spit out when you toss them an edge case? | |
| Sep 21, 2010 at 18:13 | comment | added | Steven Evers | "Does anyone really write raw SQL queries against database tables anymore?" - Yep. In my case, I'm saddled with a less than awesome ORM package, so for some particularly gnarly requests, where I don't want to hit the DB over the network numerous times, I'll write a stored proc and circumvent the ORM. (Only ever done it twice in the last 1.5 yrs, but it does happen). | |
