Text Reading

Text reading is required material, and subject to testing. I cannot go over web dev concepts in detail in class, so the reading is essential to fill in details.

Week 3 Hibernate

The Bauer text is a very thorough Hibernate introduction, and delves deeply into sometimes-obscure areas we won’t need -- thus the careful page selections below. In particular, we will not deal with HSQL (we’re using MySQL), JTA, nor EJB. And, we’ll be using annotation-based mappings; read the XML mapping discussions only as background. You’ll see XML mappings in older code, but the Hibernate world is moving to the annotations.

Bauer Part 1 pp 3- 62, 68-79, 104, 105-131, 152-3

Bauer Part 2 pp 157-171, 177-207, 210-220, 236-237, 239-313, 321

Reference Reading

Reference reading may be done on an as-needed basis. Web development involves integrating a great many different technologies. You’ll be expected to understand these technologies on tests at a level appropriate for the projects you’ve performed, but that’s not the same as having read and memorized every line of the references, which would be impossible. Many of these are links. Those you use most frequently, such as the JavaDocs, you should download for faster local access. Most come with downloadable zips.
