Ever looked for a comprehensive tutorial to Hibernate & JPA that is fun and entertaining at the same time? 

This video is a crash course into the Hibernate & JPA universe.  We'll start with getting the correct project dependencies, annotating our classes with JPA annotations and setting up a SessionFactory. This allows us to execute basic CRUD operations, HQL and Criteria queries. Afterwards we can simply JPAify our code, switching out a couple of classes and you'll understand how Hibernate / JPA & Spring Boot play together. By the end of it, you'll have a good (initial) understanding of how to use it and what your future Hibernate / JPA learning journey entails.

A crash course introduction to Hibernate and JPA covering the core object-relational mapping problem, basic setup with Maven dependencies, entity annotations (@Entity, @Table, @Id, @GeneratedValue, @Column), persisting objects via sessions, querying with HQL/JPQL, the Criteria API for dynamic queries, and how JPA abstracts over Hibernate. Also touches on how Spring Boot simplifies this stack with auto-configured EntityManagerFactory, declarative transactions, and Spring Data repositories.
