Course Overview

JPA and Hibernate Course Overview

Hibernate is the primary JPA implementation and the most popular Java ORM framework. It dramatically reduces boilerplate code,eliminates vendor specific SQL,and eases the reading and writing of composite objects and specialisations to the database.

This JPA and Hibernate course delivered using JPA v3 and Hibernate v6,focuses on the practical aspects of using the framework as part of the technology stack. Attendees will learn how to persist the instances of classes that follow natural object-oriented idioms including composition and inheritance.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
