The quick start guide (http://wiki.nhibernate.org/display/NH/Quick+Start+Guide). Right now it's in our Confluence Wiki, but I'm going to move it to this Wiki shortly.

There are many articles/tutorials about NHibernate here: http://wiki.nhibernate.org/display/NH/Documentation

You may start with NHibernateEg.

Thank You all.

I've allready worked out NHibernateEg. It shows a comfortable way of handling NHibernate by using Attributes. But i guess maybe it is better to start the hard way, by doing the xmls by hand.

Also a nice try was the tutorial of Justin Gehtland (http://www.theserverside.net/articles/showarticle.tss?id=NHibernate). Though I is filled with lots of errors. So you get confused after a few minutes.

I will have a look on the other resources you both wrote there.

Thx alot.

There is the official Hibernate tutorial in chapter 1 of the Hibernate reference documentation. I guess it isn't very difficult to translate from Java to C#: http://hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/refere ... orial.html

To tell the truth, I bougth "Hibernate in Action" a half year ago, as I was still working with Java. With changing my Job I also changed from Java to C#. So I really never neither opened the Book nor read a line. ;)
If you say that it is so similar, I will give it a try.

Is NHibernate using the same object model than Hibernate?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "same object model" but I can attest that the HIA book is great for the basic usage of NH (classes, mappings, collections, queries, etc).

There is some specific information about designing layerd applications and strategies for session handling that are more specific to Java and don't map well for .NET/ASP. In those cases there is again a FAQ on the NH Wiki for those issues:

It's not exactally the same, but the API is very similar, the book definatly helped me with NHibernate.

So are there also some tutorials as short as the quick start guide for NHibernate and ASP.NET (with Visual Studio 2005)?
