Spring Persistence with Hibernate book required or assumes any hibernate or ORM knowledge?

[Nachiket Patel]

Dear Ahmed,

I never used any ORM framework, although I know ORM concepts.
And we use Spring for every possibility where it can be used. (Spring core, jdbc, mvc, remote etc)

I am planning to learn "JPA/Hibernate" and also "JPA/Hibernate with Spring"
So, does Spring Persistence with Hibernate book required or assumes hibernate knowledge ? or it also contains Basics of Hibernate and How to.. Hibernate?

Cheers,

Yes it gives you a pretty good and quick tour of Hibernate

[Ahmad Reza Seddighi]

The book teaches you Hibernate (both Hibernate native API and JPA) from basic, even if you have not already used any other ORM framework.
Spring Persistence with Hibernate

I just referred to it and I found it teaches you Hibernate very well and as the author says you do not need other resources.

What about Spring, how well this book teaches Spring?
