New course: Spring with JPA and Hibernate

Bryan Hansen has just published a new course: Spring with JPA and Hibernate

One of the pros of Java is also one of the cons of Java and that is the availability of third party frameworks to aid in development. Hibernate helped to solve a long standing problem of Object-Relational-Mapping or Mismatch and made data access easier in Java. The problem with Hibernate alone is that it did make development easier, but it made configuration a little more difficult. Jpa aimed to standardize ORM tools like Hibernate, but still had problems such as transactions and configuration that made it more difficult to work with, then along came Spring… 

In this course Bryan will use Spring to help configure Jpa with Hibernate and tie it into a Spring MVC application. The course is demo heavy and will show you how to wire up your entire application from scratch. He will cover everything from the required dependencies to file location and then you will finish of the course using the Spring-Data-Jpa library. You’ve got to see this extensive TOC, click here to go directly to it. Happy learning!

btw, I know for a certainty that Bryan has more courses on the way, stay tuned!
