I am trying to learn JPA.Reading Hibernate in Action is an overkill on JPA. I feel it’s focusing too muchon Hibernate and not enough on JPA. Plus, I want to first learn JPA, which is astandard. And if I can use that without Hibernate, I think that it is lessconfusing.
JPA is gaining momentum. It’sEntity Beans done right, in my opinion. I should really learn it. By really, Imean I have to try it out. I have to write a couple of projects from scratch.That’s the only way I am going to remember it and actually get it. It’s whatprograming is. It’s the excitement in programming.
That’s how I want to learn newlanguages, new technologies. I shall try to read a little, and then practice. Agood way to learn new stuff.
One other technology I want tolearn is JavaScript OO. I still struggle in that regard. I got a good book byResig. I shall see if I can master the technology by reading it at work. Itlooks like a good book. It’s harder because it’s in PDF, but on the other hand,it’s easier to read in this group.
