I am looking for a tutorial on setting up nhibernate. There seems to be few out there, but most are either written in gibberish, or are on an extremely ancient release.

Any good resources, possibly even the inclusion of fluent or a code configured install?

The NHibernate FAQ has everything you need (from blog post 1, that is) including step-by-step discussions on setting up NHibernate.

The samples are quite recent, with the blog only starting March 2008.

Consequently, The NHibernate FAQ has a very recent post on fluent interfaces for NHibernate.

Just to clarify, this isn't an official hibernate site. It also has pretty bad page rank, but seems to be the most extensive source for up to date setup info. Not saying its not good, just it sounds official, and isn't. Thanks Jon

@nmiranda nice links, but not too many of them are recently updated. This is in alignment with the simple google searches. I am really looking for something specifically written on 2.0 and possibly using the fluent interface, since hbm tutorials are not really up to date with the latest goodness.

This link can help,;

Mini-Guide: NHibernate, these articles explain by example and they helped me very much.

Hope it helps you too

@ChanChan,

Whilst not official, it is maintained by Oren Eini aka Ayende Rahein, one of the most prolific contributors to NHibernate, so you could pretty much be confident about the accuracy of this FAQ.

You're welcome :)

if you're interested in screencasts, checkout the summer of nhibernate tutorials. They're an execllent way to get up and running

The first video in the series is over an hour long. If this tool is as simple as people claim then I think this is a little overkill.

Overkill if you're familiar with some of the material, but I for one benefited greatly from the hand holding in it. The other resources are more condensed, and were harder for me to read before I watched the screencast.

NHibernate was the first ORM that I have ever used, and I watched every minute of those videos.
