What you should know

- [Instructor] Before beginning this course, you should know Java and relational databases. The course project scenario uses Hibernate, which is an implementation of the Jakarta Persistence specification. If you're not familiar with Hibernate, don't worry. By the time this course is over, you will be an expert. And you'll also know how to expertly manage relational data in Java applications. Setting up your local development environment is straightforward. You'll need Java JDK 17 or above, your favorite Maven-aware Java IDE, like IntelliJ, Eclipse, et cetera. During the demonstrations, I will be using IntelliJ. You'll also need a web browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. During the demonstrations I'll be using my favorite browser, Chrome. You will also set up PostgreSQL as the database. And we'll use the pgAdmin tool to administer that database. If you have access to the exercise files for this course, you can download them to your desktop. Each chapter has associated "Before" and "After" zip files. And in each zip file is a Maven project. The "Before" files represent the baseline and should be used as the starting point when working through the examples demonstrated. The "After" files represent the state of the code after working through the examples demonstrated. You can use the "After" files as the answer key, from which you can check or evaluate your work. If you're viewing this course on a mobile device, set-top device, or your membership doesn't provide access to the exercise files, that's okay. I encourage you to still follow along as we go through the course.
