Real-World DDD
Ok, I'm a newbie but I really can't find a whole lot of real-world examples of DDD. Still haven't found good examples of repositories or even how to do decent validation of objects let alone aggregates.

Efficient use of Mocking and Mocking Tools in TDD/BDD
Mock frameworks have often provided a lot of confusion and frustration for aspiring Test Driven Developers. But new syntax features and approaches have greatly simplified how you can effectively use mocks in your tests. Unfortunately, the tools themselves do not always make it easy/obvious to do the simplest thing. This talk would show how to simplify your tests and efficiently use a tool like RhinoMocks without having it become an obstruction or make your tests brittle.

ORMs
It wasn't long ago (only a few months ago!) that some of us were hand-coding Data Access Layers. Between NHibernate, SubSonic, Castle ActiveRecord and a ton of others (and let's not forget Linq to SQL and Entity Framework), what benefits have they provided to those who use them? How do we chose which is appropriate for our own styles / teams / projects?
