Java Data Objects Training

Workshop Length

4 days

Objective

Gain hands-on experience building database applications using Sun's JDO technology.

Description

JDO (Java Data Objects) is Java's new API for interacting with databases. If you've ever created a Java database application using JDBC, then you know how labor intensive it is. JDO operates at a higher level, transparently transferring data between in-memory Java objects and your database. The bottom line: less coding and more productivity.

This hands-on workshop focuses on the practical uses of JDO. In class, you'll build a complete JDO application that demonstrates JDO's key features.

Prerequisites

Before taking the JDO training workshop, students should already be familiar with Java and databases. Also, some knowledge of HTML and JSP would help, since our sample application will be web based.
