Description
If you're a Java programmer who wants to learn the fundamentals and some of the advanced topics of Java Persistence with Hibernate, then you're the one this course is designed for.
We'll be working with
Hibernate 4
(with updates for
Hibernate 5 & 6
), and using
Hibernate as a JPA Provider
for the most part of this course.
You'll be learning the fundamentals and some of the advanced JPA features for
Object/Relational Mapping
,
Querying
,
Caching, Fetching Strategies
,
Performance Optimizations
and
Concurrency
.
We'll also talk about
Best Practices
and how to resolve some of the common performance bottlenecks.
The course includes many
Lab-Exercises
in which we have tasks, Q&A and quizzes for students to revise the concepts learnt in the lectures. We also have expanded discussions on some of those lab-exercises.
We also discuss the SQL at runtime and the performance implications of it.
The
Maven source-code
provided with the course currently uses the
Hibernate version 6
.
We try to keep updating the course by adding more and new relevant topics as well. For example, the most recent topic added to the course was
Embeddable Inheritance
, which was introduced in Hibernate version 6.6.
We've used MySQL in the course as the RDBMS.
Who this course is for
Java developers who want to learn Java persistence API (JPA) with Hibernate
Professionals working on Java/JavaEE/Spring technologies
