LLBLGen Pro v3.0 with Entity Framework v4.0 (12m video)
Today I recorded a video in which I illustrate some of the database-first functionality available in LLBLGen Pro v3.0.

It supports the following frameworks out of the box, with more scheduled to follow in the coming year: LLBLGen Pro RTL (our own o/r mapper framework), Linq to Sql, NHibernate and Entity Framework (v1 and v4).

With 'wrong' I mean: the conclusions are based on false 'facts', assumptions and hand-waving n==1 pseudo-science.
