 =head1 QUICKSTART
 
-If you're using Class::DBI, replacing
+If you're using Class::DBI, and want an easy and fast way of migrating to
+DBIx::Class look at L<DBIx::Class::CDBICompat>.
+
+There are two ways of using DBIx::Class, the 'simple' and the 'schema' one.
+
+The 'simple' way of using DBIx::Class needs less classes than the 'schema'
+way but doesn't give you the ability to use different database connections.
+
+Some examples where different database connections are useful are:
+
+different users with different rights
+different databases with the same schema.
+
+=head1 Simple
+
+First you need to create a base class all other classes inherit from.
+
+Look at L<DBIx::Class::DB> how to do this
+
+Next you need to create a class for every table you want to use with
+DBIx::Class.
+
+Look at L<DBIx::Class::Table> how to do this.
+
+
+=head2 Schema
+
+With this approach the table classes inherit directly from DBIx::Class::Core,
+although it might be a good idea to create a 'parent' class for all table
+classes which inherits from DBIx::Class::Core and adds additional methods
+needed by all table classes, e.g. reading a config file, loading auto primary
+key support.
+
+Look at L<DBIx::Class::Schema> how to do this.
+
+If you need more hand-holding, check out the introduction in the 
+manual below.
