Hibernate In Action - First Chapter available for review at TSS If you use Hibernate, or want to learn more about it, this is probably a good read. If you just had lunch, you might want to get a cup of coffee or tea (preferably caffeinated), ORM can be a pretty dry topic. Maybe I just need one since I just got back from lunch (and the closing on our Morrison house). My contract is ending soon (this has been confirmed) and I have nothing to do but cleaning up Javadocs - which is even drier than ORM.

TheServerSide is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a public review process for 'Hibernate In Action' (Manning), by Christian Bauer and Gavin King. The first chapter, 'Understanding object/relational persistence', introduces object/relational mapping (ORM) and compares it to other persistence mechanisms, such as self-made persistence layers and object databases.

Download and Review the first chapter: Understanding object/relational persistence.

RE: Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1 released You know it's going to be a good day when one of your primary pieces of software has a new release:

Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1 has been released. People who have been staying away because of the auto-complete crash bug, or have been annoyed like I was (but still stuck to Firebird for it's redeeming qualities) will be pleased to know that bug has been eliminated.

Sweet! I hated the auto-complete crash bug, and it bit me many times. I tried a nightly build yesterday and the browser didn't work at all - it crashed whenever I tried to do anything. I'm expecting great things from this build - can't wait for 0.7. Posted in The Web at Jul 29 2003, 06:38:16 AM MDT 4 Comments
