Java Persistence: Hibernate and JPA (Udemy.com)

Pros: 1) the course covers all important aspects of JPA/Hibernate. Cons: 1) it refers a lot of outdated technologies . The current Hibernate version is 7.3.0 , not 6.x . jakarta.persistence.* shall be used everywhere, not javax.persistence.*. 2) try-with-resources shall be used for EntityManagerFcatory, EntityManager. 3) Java records shall be used for Value objects (@Embeddable). 4) equals/hashCode on Entities shall be generated (with Lombok or another tool). manual writing them is too error-prone and just contaminates the classes with boiler-plate code. 5) better to focus on JPA API, not Hibernate native features (Session). 6) personal, subjective opinion: would be better to read the lectures by a neutral synthetic AI voice.

good so far, helpful content, cleared up many of my doubts. after completing 100%: it is a brilliant course to understand how Hibernate-JPA works. it definitely did the job for me. for a fundamentals course it is quite comprehensive. it dives into a lot of detail and covers many aspects of JPA as you go deeper in the course. hope he keeps adding more topics.

It is an excelent JPA course introduction. Deshraj explains the JPA concepts in a clear and direct way with simple and enlightening examples. The course uses hibernate, but Deshraj describes JPA concepts in a generic way, which allows you to understand other frameworks similar to hibernate. Congratulations Mr. Deshraj.

As a lecture it is a very good course to give you an overview and a start into Java Persistence. There are not too many exercises to get into coding yourself. But i guess you can find those elsewhere. One start deducted as the setup did not work as shown and needed some debugging. (As that is not a priority in this course, it's not really an issue)

It was amazing diving into Hibernate fundamentals concepts!!! I really enjoyed this course. The instructor explains difficult things in very simple way! Also he always replies on your questions and helps to resolve some problems. I understand basics (but so important) concepts very clearly. Thank you very much, Mr. Deshraj Singh Kiran, you're the best :)

This course is amazing, covered all the concepts of Java persistence (JDBC, JPA and Hibernate). The instructor goes further on the topics to give us strong knowledge. I loved the best practices section, it's a handy guide to work with Hibernate/JPA. Certainly, this course will help me to handle complex Java applications with persistence feature.

Course explains the topic(s) very well, instructor took lot of effort on course content to explain the topic. Just felt instructor was trying to imitate English accent, which was really bothering me, could not hear for long, eventually after multiple attempts forced myself to get used to it :D, but its just my brain not related to instructor.

The narrator's spoken / intonation is distracting.

Excellent, explains difficult concepts well.

all good but few things missing -> sample database with preloaded data, tests should be better organized

Q & A support was amazing. I took the course for an immediate implementation in my current project. I had few implementation challenges and Deshraj helped me to resolve it.

Informative
