Is there any Fluent NHibernate book?

Question

Taking into consideration that Fluent NHibernate has been available for some time I thought that there would be a book available already so i search in amazon and in google but there is no books for fluent nhiberanet. Am i right or book already exist?

Answer 1

You could use a good book on NHibernate itself since it is big but the idea behind Fluent NHibernate is that with a few examples you could pick it up so that you should not need a book.

This is the beauty of fluent API.

Answer 2

You should consider purchasing the new NHibernate 3.0 Cookbook as Fluent NHibernate is referenced throughout the book.

Answer 3

Fluent NHibernate is a mapping strategy for NHibernate, it is not large enough to justify a book to itself. Everything outside of mapping is exactly the same as NHibernate (in fact, it is NHibernate).

The best thing you can do is study the existing NHibernate material out there (such as the Cookbook suggested by Nicholas Murray), and then use the Fluent NHibernate wiki to read up on the new things that FNH brings to the table.
