NHibernate HiLo Identity Generator on SQL Azure

NHibernate POID Generators

NHibernate supports several POID (Persistent Object ID) Generators, including: Identity, Guid, Guid.Comb, and HiLo.

You can find a good explanation here, about the various strategies.

Avoiding Identity and going with Guid.Comb or HiLo is a good practice, but there's a slight problem when your Database is SQL Azure...

Building Modular JavaScript Application with AMD and RequireJS

Building Modular JavaScript Application with AMD and RequireJS Presentation

The rule of thumb when things get complex is usually to break it down to smaller, more manageable, and loosely coupled units.

Yet, JavaScript (or say ECMAScript) in its current form, doesn't provide any so-called concept of Module or Package or any kind of logical unit of deployment.

This is where AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition), and Require.JS comes into play.

With Require.JS, you can lay out a solid, scale-able architecture, and come up with maintainable and testable units of code.

This week I gave a presentation about Require.JS at the JS-IL Event, a conference held by E4D.
