Hi I am looking for an open positon. You got any for me ?

So - here it goes...
I have taken the plunge

Sent my resume across to handful of people and will be sending to more this weekend

Met a recruiter in person as well
I think I am going to decline further requests for such meetings in person- they consume way too much time- Lets see...

Sigh I have already started fantasizing how I will break the news to my Manager
oh boy. I know this is kiddish- but somehow propels me

Hibernate - a way of life

So I started reading this book- Hibernate in Action.
One of the things that hit me was- that Hibernate is not a persistence API alone
Its a way of life...
If you are simply planning to plug out your JDBC API and plug in instead Hibernate- you will not be able to get the full force out of it

( Of course in any re-factoring project- compromises are made to see what can be done and achieved within the boundaries of other constraints.)

What you really need to do is- move away from thinking in terms of tuples and data sets- and instead think more in terms of objects...

Given the fact most of the enterprise applications are coded in Object oriented languages- it shouldn't difficult

But the fact is that most designs are strongly dominated by the Database layer and user interface
These two ends are start- all and end-all for most workflows
It takes great effort and discipline to make sure that these concerns don't leak...

Anyway- its a nice book and am on to the fourth chapter tomorrow
Yay !!!
