Here are some links for developer Joe, whom wants to get started in NHibernate.

Sites

Official site: Contains great reference material, read the Quick guide too.

Community: Wiki, Blogs and downloads. become a member today, and start adding to the KB.

Video Training, (Big thanks to Unhandled Exception) Excellent, 14 videos to get you started.

Fluent Nhibernate - write code instead of XML for your mapping files.

Tools

http://www.nconstruct.com/ - NConstruct Lite is free, so give it a go, Generate you classes and mapping files from your DB.

NH Prof - a Profiler, yep see what is going on, well worth your time!

Articles, publications:

Best Practices (has a basic example and then a Enterprise example), aimed at version 1.2, however extremely good. I like this as you have the sample project layout.

The foundations of programming ebook mentioned previously in this post. As it covers NHibernate and other patterns you will most likely use with it. Fantastic read.

 

If any one knows of any good material please add a comment linking to it.

Hey Dave! I'm just starting out with NHibernate. I'm using it in a personal project I've just started. Can you suggest any good nhibernate blogs to read?

Hey Helen,

mainly those links (just updated and added 2 more links).

one thing that I found helpful is knowing the structure of a project. (what does the DAL have? DAO's), this is described in the best practices article.

The last link there (foundations) is awesome ;)
