Java Persistence: Hibernate and JPA Fundamentals

About Java Persistence: Hibernate and JPA Fundamentals

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.
