Good books or online resources for learning Hibernate

Question

What I found so far are some online resources like this:

http://www.torsten-horn.de/techdocs/java-hibernate.htm (GER)

https://www.hibernate.org/5.html (Hibernate Docs)

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/core/reference/en/html/tutorial.html

http://www.manning.com/bauer2/chapter2.pdf (Sample chapter of Java Persistence with Hibernate)

http://www.wenzlaff.de/hibernate.html (GER)

So thats a good way to start but i wonder if you can recommand any good books for learning Hibernate, or maybe you know some other very good online resource for learning it?

Answer 1

Visit www.flazx.com. I guess Professional Hibernate (Programmer to Programmer) would be a nice selection

Answer 2

try search on scribd.com

Answer 3

These are some links I have bookmarked:

• http://www.laliluna.de
• Hibernate Basics

However, in my opinion Java Persistence with Hibernate definitely worths the money and time to read it.

Answer 4

Hibernate in Action by Christian Bauer and Gavin King

Its slightly out of date, but is an excellent introduction.

Answer 5

Java Persistence with Hibernate is the second edition of "Hibernate in Action". They changed the name since they now provide JPA examples as well as Hibernate.
