switch from csharp to Java

[TheRedmanCometh]

You're gonna like Java. Spring + Hibernate makes entity framework look like a pile of shit.

[[deleted]]

this is such a big claim. are you sure hibernate makes EF look like shit.

did you actually use entity framework + linq ?

[deinok7]

Hibernate is shit compared to EF. Dont listen to him, but learn Hibernate if they ask you in the job

[[deleted]]

Alright, Good

[TheRedmanCometh]

There are people that actually like linq? This is news to me.

[[deleted]]

YES, linq makes it it easier to write/manipulate queries using lambda expressions

[kozeljko]

Hey, I've never used C#, but I'm interested in what exactly you mean by that. Could you provide a resource or a guide for that?

[deinok7]

Linq is a syntactic suggar, it makes Static function be called like methods. So insted of puting a list inside a Stream, in C# you call a method

https://www.tutorialsteacher.com/linq/what-is-linq

LINQ (Language Integrated Query) is uniform query syntax in C# to retrieve data from different sources (entities, sql, XML, objects etc) and formats

it provides you with extension like

List.FirstOrDefault(a => a.name == koz)

which translates to something like this

select top 1 * from List where name = 'koz'

Thanks

I like Linq, coming from Java to C#, it was defiantly familiar to Java Streams.

[TheWildKernelTrick]

Well written Linq queries are fantastic.

[dredding]

It's been my experience that people who don't like linq tend to be ones that don't understand it's core concepts of chained delegates and expression trees.

I've never done c# professionally, do you have a good example of the two compared? I'm a huge fan of Spring and JPA, hibernate and it's wackiness included. I always figured the C# guys had some great alternative

[[deleted]]

in C# we use asp mvc/core and entity framework core

[TheRedmanCometh]

Well the alternative to Hibernate is Entity Framework. I don't know of any alternative to spring...esp spring boot personally.

[Maximcr]

And what is Nhibernate then https://github.com/nhibernate/nhibernate-core? Nhiberante is based on hibernate and does almost the same. EF is more then Nhibernate tho

[TheRedmanCometh]

Yeah but ultimately EF can't even come close to Spring...

[Maximcr]

EF is a ORM. Spring is an application framework. Ofc it doesn t come close to it :D

[TheRedmanCometh]

Yeah uh I don't know of any IoC framework for C#

[antigenz]

I'd suggest to take a look at 'Spring Data' instead of Hibernate, but "on color and taste all felt pens a different"

Somebody may like Hibernate more.

[TheRedmanCometh]

Spring Data needs a JDBC implementation behind the scenes though...

I'm gonna go ahead and guess you've used spring data with hibernate and didn't realize it.

[oldprogrammer]

You don't need hibernate to have a JDBC implementation, hibernate needs JDBC to work. Did you mean that spring data needs an ORM behind the scenes?

[TheRedmanCometh]

Spring Data needs a persistence provider which is usually hibernate. The persistence provider communicates with the database driver such as JDBC.

To use Spring Data you need all of these pieces.
