Introduction to Hibernate

The Introduction to Hibernate training course examines creating database centric Java applications using Hibernate as an implementation for the Java Persistence Architecture (JPA). In addition to covering the JPA, the Hibernate training also covers object-relational mapping concepts, Hibernate implementation specifics, complex mappings, and configuration.

The course begins with a review of database concepts and an understanding of Hibernate. The course then dives into how to use native Hibernate Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), generating primary keys, and defining mapping associations. The course concludes with a look at inheritance strategies, querying, and best practices.

While Hibernate is a powerful object-relational-mapping tool, we suggest looking at taking a JPA course instead. Hibernate is considered an implementation of JPA. View our complete listing of JPA courses.
