I recently had an idea to retarget my blogging efforts to address confusing/little-known scenarios and pain points with LINQ to SQL and the Entity Framework. Since I’m using these technologies just about all the time now I have noticed that there is no end to the amount of discussion they bring up—from high-level architectural concerns like supporting n-tier and IoC to low-level implementation-specific questions like how to use the Attach family of methods in both technologies.

I’m going to prioritize my posts based on feedback I get personally (from here and other sources) and what I see on Twitter; KristoferA challenged twitterers (is that right?) to tweet their pains with both technologies with #linqtosqlpain and #efpain. I certainly have a few of my own that I want to address too.

(And yes, I have joined Twitter, too!)
