Training in ORM with Hibernate

I am offering a training course in ORM with Hibernate. The training intends to cover both conceptual and practical topics. Ideally after the training, participants should be able to develop typical J2EE applications hands-on with Hibernate, and become fairly knowledgeable of all the common issues working with ORM tools in general and Hibernate in particular.

The training will be code-intensive. Typically, it will require 15-20 hours, with two-third of time in lecture and the other in working with codes. Of course, I can tailor this course for specific needs if required.

Here is an outline of the topics I will cover in the training. If any reader of this blog thinks it useful, please feel free to drop me an email yang927@yahoo.com, and we can discuss further.
