General, 0

---

Entity Framework, NHibernate and a number of other complex ORMs are available for .NET but what if you just need to move data from a database to an application quickly and simply? In this session we will review two lightweight data access technologies: Simple.Data and Dapper. If you don't need every single feature under the sun, these may be just the data access solution you are looking for. You will learn how you can take advantage of both the basic and complex the feature sets of these tools. You will also see how they can help you be more productive when you need to work with data in everything from one-off data transformation jobs through complex scalable data driven applications. See how you can build well architected and secure applications with these technologies, without having to spend valuable development time implementing a complex solution to a simple problem.
