Hi Paul,
I just recently learned about spring (..and is still learning
) and have been using it in a small project of mine.
I am really a novice on Persistence framework such as JPA/Hibernate and been using plain old spring
jdbc template.
With this, pardon me if my question wont be as technical and not nitty-gritty hibernate questions as the other posters here have already posted.
I look up at the apress site and found that you have another book entitled Spring Persistence - A Running Start.
My question would be:
1. Does this book complement the first book?
2. If I could only afford one book, which do you suggest? (Its hard to order book from abroad... taxes almost doubles the price when I order from a local bookstore..)
3. Whats the approach in your book? Is this a one stop technical book that discusses everything or is this a book that builds a simple project and enhances it progressively.
I really like the latter.
I would really like to learn how to use Hibernate and integrate it into my spring project.
