Hibernate Essentials is targeted toward Java developers who
must become competent with the Hibernate or the Java
Persistence API object/relational persistence and query
service implementation. The primary audience is intended to be
Java developers who work with SQL-based database systems or
database developers who are looking for an introduction to
object-oriented software development. Database administrators
who are interested in how ORM may affect performance and how
to tune the performance of the SQL database management system
and persistence layer will also find this course of
value. This course covers the JBoss, Inc. implementation of
the JSR-220 sub-specification for Java Persistence and it
covers the foundational APIs of version 3.x of the JBoss,
Inc. Hibernate product, or simply, Hibernate 3.
