Useful resources for ramping up on CF9 ORM/Hibernate

I’ve been working on this ColdBox based feature for one of Amcom’s sites, however the rest of the site itself isn’t framework driven, so I decided to move the entire site into one common ColdBox application.Since I’m in rewriting mode, might as well take advantage of ColdFusion 9’s ORM/Hibernate feature. This technology is quite mindblasting, and I have to give major kudos to the ColdFusion team for making it work with CF so seamlessly. It is so seamless it’s like a native feature of CF. Nice (especially considering you have 400 page books on the topic)! If it’s one thing ColdFusion does well it’s integrating technologies.

Anyways, below is list of resources I found to be very useful in quickly ramping up with CF9 ORM.
