dthable's Journal: [programming] Hibernate It Is

Well, we decided to use Hibernate for our next project. The boss and I played with a small demo program and he was sold. Reasons:

1. We found our development staff to be less than stellar when it comes to writing SQL.
2. It's fast.
3. We can get support from Redhat in the future.

The last one is huge. I always laughed at people who bought support but then I had an issue with perl. I could have found the answer myself, but it was easier and faster to call ActiveState.

Now, where's are the best Hibernate docs and tools hiding?

Hibernate.org

The Hibernate manual is available online at Hibernate.org. You can also ask questions in the forums but make sure you search google for your answer first, otherwise it will be ignored. Finally, you should invest in the book Hibernate in Action, which was written by the authors of Hibernate - Gavin King, et. al.
