That link you have provided for "POCO Template" is broken - but I assume you mean this.
I found these two links to be invaluable when setting up my model/poco classes. Poco generation and Poco options. As mentioned above it is a good idea (certainly if using the repository pattern) to turn off code generation in the edmx and create both a derived ObjectContext class and your Poco classes via the two T4 templates provided by Microsoft.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
