    [SOUND] Hello there. 0:00
    If we haven't met before I'm Chris and I'm a Java teacher here at Treehouse. 0:05
    Before we start I want to point you to a couple courses that 0:09
    I'll assume you've taken. 0:12
    The first is Java Annotations. 0:14
    We'll be leveraging annotations during this course so 0:16
    it's important that you've seen them before. 0:19
    The second is the Gradle dependencies workshop. 0:21
    We'll be using Gradle to pull in some third party libraries and 0:25
    this workshop will help you understand how to get started with Gradle 0:28
    So, what is it that we'll be covering in this course? 0:32
    We're going to cover a method of working with databases 0:35
    in a way that integrates with our Java objects in an obvious and natural manner. 0:38
    The task of mapping database data to objects is typically accomplished 0:43
    using what's called an ORM or Object Relational Mapping framework. 0:47
    We'll talk more about what this means exactly but 0:52
    in this course the framework we'll be using to handle our database operations 0:54
    and mapping to Java objects is called Hibernate. 0:58
    Hibernate is one of the most feature packed solutions available, but 1:02
    it can also be quite intimidating. 1:05
    So, here is how I'll break it down for you. 1:07
    First, I'd like to provide some motivation for considering an ORM at all, 1:10
    including a discussion on data persistence, a lightning 1:15
    fast overview of database concepts as well as using Java to connect to a database. 1:18
    Here, we'll see that translating database data to the objects we've written to 1:23
    represent our data can be quite tedious. 1:27
    Next, we'll add Hibernate into the mix and see how to configure and 1:31
    run a simple console based application. 1:35
    And, by the time you're done with this course you'll be ready to move 1:38
    onto more advanced uses of Hibernate, such as integrating with a web application, 1:41
    in a framework like Spring. 1:45
    So, when you're ready, head on over to the next video and we'll get started. 1:47
