+
+  <section>
+    <title>Introduction</title>
+
+    <para>This QuickStart application uses the all too familiar Northwind
+    database and uses NHibernate browse and edit customers. It It is a very
+    simple application that directly uses the DAO layer in some cases and also
+    has a simple service layer that simulated a fullillment process. See the
+    integration tests as well for insight into how it works. The application
+    uses Spring's declarative transaction management features,
+    HibernateTemplate helper class, and Open Session In View module. <note>The
+    example will be updated to not use HibernateTemplate and instead use the
+    standard NHibernate API in a future release. All functionality is still
+    present when using the standard NHibernate API, as Spring transaction
+    managment is integrated into NHibernate extension points and exception
+    translation is provided by AOP advice. See the section titled Implementing
+    DAOs based on plain Hibernate 1.2/2.0 API" in the hibernate orm section of
+    the reference docs for more information.</note>To run the application
+    make the Web application
+    the project that starts and set Default.aspx as the start page. You will
+    see a list of customers. If you select 'edit' then you can edit some
+    customer info and save it by pressing the save button. Note that you will
+    need to explicitly navigate back to the Default.aspx page and reload it in
+    order to see the changes.</para>
