New to Hibernate

[anish jain]

I am new to hibernate..Can anobody suggest me the best site and book to start with hibernate..
Also I want to know Can I start with hibernate3 instead of going through hibernate2?

Hibernate's own site has a wealth of resource.

You don't need to learn old versions of the API before looking at the new.

Java Persistence with Hibernate is good hibernate book. Hibernate website as mentioned by Paul is also very good.

[Cameron Wallace McKenzie]

I always found Java Persistence with Hibernate to be just a tad overwhelming for people new to Hibernate.

Check out my signature links for some real easy to follow Hibernate tutorial:

Getting Started with Hibernate: A Tutorial

If you like the flow of the tutorials, then pick up my book, Hibernate Made Easy. You'll find it to be a solid learning resource.
