Software Reflection is the ability of a process to examine, introspect, and modify its own structure and behavior. This video is part 2 of a 3 part hands on series where we will see how reflection works by applying it to a real world problem: Creating an object relational mapping library.

The program uses my ORM library called 4DFLib. You can find the 4DFLib library here: github.com/briangormanly/4dflib
I created a video tutorial using the example above that walks you through using 4DFLib:

Part 3: • 4DFLib Object Relation...
I also have a related short series on ORM if you are not familiar with or would like to refresh on the concepts:
