Hibernate tutorials

Question

Let's say that I'm new to Hibernate, is there a way to get my skills up to speed? Are there any good tutorials?

Answer 1

Hibernate.org is pointing this to begin with : Getting Started with Hibernate

I would then recommend reading this very good book : Java Persistence with Hibernate (Christian Bauer and Gavin King)

Answer 2

There is J2EE course in Java Passion, which has a full section about Hibernate.

Answer 3

Hibernate.org's tutorial:

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/reference/en/html/tutorial.html

Depends though, are you just trying to get into Hibernate with no actual knowledge about what Hibernate is, or are just going to dive into the first tutorial you come across?

If you want a basic understanding of what Hibernate is, check out this link (very easy, short read):

http://www.laliluna.de/what-is-hibernate.html

They dumb it down enough for the layman who doesn't know anything (useful) about Hibernate to get a grasp on what it is and how it works.
