Active Record and ORMs

  • Do research on the “Active Record Pattern”.
    • A pattern is simply a way of arranging code, a common way of solving a design problem derived from research as well as real world practice. This particular pattern has to do with ways of tying databases into object oriented programs in a rich and convenient way.
    • Read Active Record Pattern and also ORM Hate, both articles by a famous OO designer Martin Fowler.
