Course Number: JAVA.021
Duration: 3 days (full-day sessions) OR weekend/evening sessions
Training Overview: Hibernate is an open source object/relational (OR) persistence and query service for Java. Hibernate lets you develop persistent classes following common Java idioms - including association, inheritance, polymorphism, composition, and the Java collections framework. The Hibernate Query Language, designed as a minimal object-oriented extension to SQL, provides an elegant bridge between the object and relational worlds. Hibernate also allows you to express queries using native SQL or Java-based Criteria and Example queries. This course covers everything you need to know to begin working with Hibernate in a very short time. It covers all the important concepts necessary to access and update data stored in relational databases. It includes an extensive series of labs to exercise all major capabilities.
Location and Pricing: Most of our courses are conducted online OR at our training facility and are customized to meet our students needs. We also provide customized onsite training at our clients' locations. Pricing for an online course depends on if its a weekend/evening course or a full day course. The weekend/evening courses are most cost-effective as they are spread over a period of weeks giving you ample time to complete the hands-on exercises.
