NHibernate.Search and Lucene.Net

I've been researching and prototyping these tools this week.

Any research I do starts with google. I construct the search argument looking for a walkthrough or tutorial and look for the key points. I absorb those points in context until one light goes on. Then another. And another. Eventually, the lights all go on and I know that I have enough knowledge to grasp it.

This one was tough. Google just didn't have much to report about it and what was there was terribly thin on the sort of information I needed to get the lights switching.

It was more of an inconvenience, really. I kept writing code and failing until I could divine what needed to go where. It's not as efficient as a good web tutorial. I've taken those for granted, I suppose.

So, I will put something on here to try to help the next guy. I like the results I received well enough to believe that NHibernate.Search will catch on in the neighborhood.

.NET Beginnings

I've tried blogging before. Life is busy, however, and it's difficult to find the time it takes.

What the heck. I'll give it another shot. I've a lot of things to say about .NET and the job of programming in general.
