Course Information
Course Overview
A simple-to-follow and easy-to-understand course on Java Persistence API (JPA) with Hibernate
If you’re a Java programmer who wants to learn the essentials 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 essentials 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.

good so far, helpful content, cleared up many of my doubts. after completing 100%: it is a brilliant course to understand how Hibernate-JPA works. it definitely did the job for me. for a fundamentals course it is quite comprehensive. it dives into a lot of detail and covers many aspects of JPA as you go deeper in the course. hope he keeps adding more topics.
