Spring Framework: Spring Data JPA 5 with Hibernate from Pluralsight

Developing applications using Spring with JPA and Hibernate

This course walks through developing applications using Spring with JPA and Hibernate. There is a scaffold application using Spring MVC. The material will be developed using Eclipse/Spring STS and all downloads will be done using Maven.

JPA is an abbreviation for Java Persistent API, also called Jakarta Persistence. It's a Java API specification that describes relational data management in applications that use Java Platform - Standard and Enterprise editions.

Hibernate is an object-relational mapping (ORM) tool used in Java. It is a framework for mapping object-oriented domain models to relational databases. Hibernate also assists in searching for and finding data.

JPA is considered standard, while Hibernate isn't. Hibernate uses Session for handling data persistence, while JPA uses Entity Manager. There are many other differences, which we will go over in more detail in the course.

We will be using Eclipse/Spring STS to develop our material, and all downloads will be done using Maven.

Anyone who wants to learn how to build and develop apps!

We don't assume that you have any knowledge of Spring or JPA, but experience with Java and a relational database will help accelerate your learning in this course. If you haven't used Spring MVC before we recommend taking this

prior to taking this course.
