Yep, that time again, the 20th Architecture chat will be held this thursday, 11:30am at the Sylvia Park in Auckland (at Garrisons), all are welcome to come along.

Some topics (off the top of my head) this week include:

• Java & .Net (didn't make it in last week)
• • The IKVM project (Java VM implemented in .Net)
  
  
  • Boo on java (boojay)
  
  
  • Grasshopper (we've talked about this one before)
  
  
  
  
• ORM Love
• • NHibernate 2.0 features/maturation (and yes, it looks like the Castle trunk will be moving to it, hurray!)
  • Lightspeed 1.1 has been released.
  • Experiences of writing a Linq to query parser.
  
  
  
  
• VS2008 very close
• • But ReSharper for C# 3.0 a while off.
  • Tempted by TeamSystem just to get the in-line "annotate" functionality.
  
  
  
  

And if anyone else has suggestions, feel free to throw me a comment/email etc. - obviously a bit topic light at the moment.

See you all Thursday!
