Welcome Mike & Merrick

I just ordered your book at Amazon! What a pitty, a free copy is useless for me! But the topic is worth some bucks! And your book is far the only one for that subject.

pete reisinger wrote:Welcome to the forum, my question is: if I'm new to JPA but tried Hibernate, should I get this book or something like "starting with JPA". Basically I want to ask if the book expects the reader to know JPA or there's some introduction to get started.
Thanks



This is best asked in its own topic - this is a welcome topic after all. Its more likely to get answered and you would be eligable for the book draw.

Hi Mike and Merrick

the blurb about the book looks promising - I might actually have to go and buy it - if I don't win it

I have seen things you people would not believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, c-beams sparkling in the dark near the Tennhauser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.

It's a nice book.
Many examples , how to use with EJB and many more..
Its a bit complicated though for beginners but its ok to understand some basic stuff.

I just want to say that I loved the first edition of this book. It was the first time I truly felt I understood JPA. I'm looking forward to getting the second edition.

Just got the book (not the free copy!)

I payed for it, but I do not regret!

The distance between the lines is bit narrow, probably because of the much stuff in the book. The illustrations in it seem very clear.

I just read the introduction which reads very good and woke some very high expectations.

Cite: "Storing and retrieving data ist a multibillion dollar business" => seems to be a truth, therefore Oracle eat Sun !

Up to now data storage was a thing of lower importance. Beginning to read your book, it seems to me more than before that this book deals with a VERY IMPORTANT subject.

Terence
