Read-only data in NHibernate

Was just browsing the NHibernate forum and read something i didn't know yet... if you have read-only data, you can declare the class as immutable:

<class name="Foo" table="foo_table" mutable="false">

from the NHibernate documentation:

Immutable classes, mutable="false", may not be updated or deleted by the application. This allows NHibernate to make some minor performance optimizations.

Even if it's only a minor optimization, it's still a nice feature :)

New book on Continuous Integration

As part of Martin Fowler's Signature Series, a new book on Continuous Integration has been released written by Paul Duvall (with guest contributions from other authors as well). The book is called Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk... should be pretty interesting. I already ordered my copy :)
