Entity Framework

A bit of history

I remember the day when I started writing the HLinq query language. It was weekend and I was experimenting with writing Single endpoints for Hamster Wheel. Single endpoints were almost done and next step was to write List endpoint. This would allow to get list of records of specific type. After I got single GET returns correct data for chosen record id, list should not be hard to implement. Then just create, update and delete. Basic CRUD API in Hamster Wheel would be finished. I was thrilled that I actually was able to do such thing.
