Hibernate Book Review I started doing a book review for Manning this morning. It's called Object/Relational Persistence in Java, Practical O/R Mapping with Hibernate, by Christian Bauer and Gavin King. Once again, I find myself in a time crunch with a publisher - at least I'm not writing this time. The task: read/review and critique 105 pages by tomorrow. Shouldn't be too bad, I'd better get cracking! I'll let you know what I think when I'm done.

Update: Sweet - only 86 pages (the rest is just headings). I'm halfway done. Mostly O/R Mapping concepts and comparing database types (i.e. relational vs. object-oriented) to this point. Next is mapping strategies - I hope to learn something here. Posted in Java at Apr 29 2003, 05:46:01 AM MDT 7 Comments

Is this book based on Hibernate 1.x or 2.x?

There's not enough Hibernate-specific content for me to determine, but since it's written by Gavin - I have full confidence that'll it'll be on 2.x. Most of what I've read so far as been comparing database types (i.e. RDBMS vs. OODBMS vs. ORDBMS) and O/R mapping strategies.

Matt, could you pass on to Manning that this book would be an excellent book for their Early Access Program. I'm about to try to use Hibernate for a project here at NCDC, it would be great to have early access to book like this. Look forward to hearing more of your comments.

[Trackback] Most authors of computer books write for their enjoyment, love to share their ideas with others and give back to the community. The vast majority of authors in the computer book field hold down day jobs and write at night...
