A full-blown OR/M like NHibernate or Entity Framework is not always necessary. Often you will spend too much time learning quirks, battling performance, and struggling with edge cases. Dapper is a "micro OR/M" that was first created for use on StackOverflow.com. Dapper has a small, but easy to use feature set that will race you to productivity. You'll be able to achieve speed comparable to plain ADO.NET without all the extra ceremony. In this session, you're introduced to Dapper, its benefits, and its limitations. You'll see how it's used in real projects and you'll learn why you should start simple with your next data access layer.
