Some suggestions on which .NET ORM to look at learning

Question

I am a little ashamed to say that I have never used an ORM; as you may recall most of my career experience is hacking around with Classic ASP and the little .NET I do tends

Answer 1

I would recommend nhibernate - since it is open source and has a very active community help is easy to get. A great starting point is The NHibernate FAQ, it ranges from post for beginners to very advanced concepts. Hit the ground running by reading and following Prepare your system for NHibernate and Your first NHibernate based application.

All employers that I worked for used NHibernate for ORM in .NET and Hibernate for ORM in Java - so you should benefit greatly from learning NHibernate.
