Beginning Hibernate: From Novice to Professional

by Jeff Linwood, Jeff Linwood

Beginning Hibernate is ideal if you're experienced in Java with databases (the traditional, or connected, approach), but are new to open source lightweight Hibernate-the most popular de facto object-relational mapping and database-oriented application development framework. This book packs in information about the release of the Hibernate 3.2.x persistence layer and provides a clear introduction to the current standard for object-relational persistence in Java.

Experienced author Dave Minter and contributor Jeff Linwood provide more in-depth examples than any other books for Hibernate beginners. The authors also present material in a lively, example-based mannernot in a dry, theoretical, hard-to-read fashion. And since the book keeps its focus on Hibernate without wasting time on nonessential third-party tools, you'll be able to immediately start building transaction-based engines and applications.

My opinion of this book may be hurt by the somewhat disjointed way I ended up reading it, however it suffered from the problem that many computer books suffer from: it lacked sufficient detail. It covers a lot of ground but relatively little depth and doesn't give much in the way of why you would choose to do things certain ways.
