Advanced Hibernate Training – 3 days

Description

Possible training language: English, German

The training provides a very complete coverage of Hibernate. It explains advanced features of Hibernate, provides the participant with a deep knowledge of Hibernate concepts. Topics like performance, clustering and best practices are covered.

After the training the student is ready to develop Hibernate based applications, integrate existing databases and craft powerful architectures in different environments. The student is provided with a rich tool set to common problems and can balance pros and cons in different situations.

The training covers 3 days and includes a large number of practical labs including a complete web application, which is analysed and optimized.

Your trainer is Sebastian Hennebrueder.
