Transfer is The Greatest Thing Since...

I've been talking with Mark Mandel for quite some time now, and he is largely responsible for my brain moving from a procedural mindset to an object oriented mindset. God knows that I've asked him a bazillion questions over time, and he's always had the right answer for me (even when that answer has been "RTFM!"). I'll never be able to express my gratitude to him in helping me learn how to become a programmer as opposed to a code writer. (By the way, I am by no means suggesting that I am a programmer - far from it - but I'm moving in that direction.)
When Mark first mentioned Transfer to me, I had no idea what an ORM was. But what he explained to me sounded really cool. It made no sense, but my interest was piqued, because I knew that it was something that would make my life easier and better. Easier? Better? Holy cow! Those two words don't even begin to describe its benefits!
