Applying Hibernate to Persistence in Java Training

Mastering Hibernate is a four day in–depth course geared for experienced Java developers who need to understand what Hibernate is in terms of today’s systems and architectures, and how to apply Hibernate to persistence requirements in Java and J2EE applications.

Hibernate is a powerful enabler that addresses object/relational persistence in the Java world. Hibernate offers all the advantages of developing in Java plus a comprehensive suite of capabilities for mapping object–oriented features to the relational model. This course tells you what you need to know to design and build your own Hibernate–enabled applications. You’ll learn the details of the key Hibernate capabilities and how to leverage their strengths, with a special focus on using Hibernate with other technologies and frameworks. At the same time, you’ll be learning about the big picture of Hibernate and how to design applications to use Hibernate in a robust, efficient, secure, and maintainable fashion. If you want to deliver an application using Hibernate, you’ll find this course essential.
