AM-401: Getting started with Java Persistence API (JPA) (Object/Relation Mapping) Framework

WorkShop Overview

After completing this course you will have the skills to design and build JPA based applications. Onsite training available.

Length

2 day, 3 day and 4 day versions of the course

Course Abstract:

JPA is the standard object/relation mapping framework for Java. The Java Persistence API builds on ideas from leading persistence frameworks and APIs such as Hibernate (R), Oracle TopLink(R), BEA KODO (R) and Java Data Objects (JDO), and well as on the earlier EJB container-managed persistence.

This course is focused around labs. All lessons prepare the students to work on the labs. Our lab books are extensive.

The lesson book and the lab book are in full color. Color syntax highlighting makes code listing easier to read.

JPA Endorsements

"The instructor was very thorough and took time to help you understand everything that was being taught. I would not only recommend this (JPA) course, but would recommend the instructor as well." – Gregory (client)

"This (JPA) class was one of the best I have taken. It was very well thought out, the content was excellent and relevant. The class was organized extremely well. I have never been in a class that went this smoothly..." – Steven K (client)

"(The instructor) was a great instructor and the material is top notch. He introduced some of my engineers to the ... Hibernate... The material and labs ... are the best I've seen." – Steven (client)

"Well when it comes to Hibernate, I feel (the instructor) is someone who is like 'Been There Done That' that kind of a guy. I really enjoyed the training sessions." --Prasanth (client)

"... delivered what was hands-down the best technical training I've ever received (covered Hibernate in depth)" --Aaron

" It was a great experience to get trained (by ArcMind) ... on Hibernate. (The course) was the best I ever attended. (The coverage of) best practices, really made me also start thinking like that. Thanks..." --Rohit (client)
