MANNING PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hibernate Quickly
For the 20% of Hibernate that developers need 80% of the time
Greenwich, CT August 12, 2005 -- Positioned as a layer between the application and the database, Hibernate is a powerful object/relational persistence and query service for Java. It takes care of automating a tedious task: the manual bridging of the gap between object oriented code and the relational database.
Hibernate Quickly focuses on the 20% that developers need 80% of the time and introduces them to the Hibernate "ecosystem": how Hibernate can work with other common development tools and frameworks like XDoclet, Struts, WebWork, Spring, and Tapestry.
Hibernate Quickly is a gradual introduction to the features of Hibernate, covering the latest version, Hibernate 3. The book builds code examples incrementally, introducing new concepts as it progresses. It covers Hibernate's many, useful configuration and design options, breaking a complex subject into digestible pieces. With a gradual "crawl-walk-run" approach, the book teaches what Hibernate is, what it can do, and how to work with it effectively. The book was written for developers who are new to Hibernate and for Hibernate users who want to learn how to integrate Hibernate into their existing projects.
