Good tutorial

Most technical computer books today talk talk talk and only offer really brief real info at hefty price and huge paper waste. Fortunately there are good people that put out good tutorial. Bookstores itself is shrinking marketplace (how sad). I will not buy a book unless I actually flipped through the papers and like its presentation. $ is a terrible thing to waste.

Found another good tutorial for skills that people want to hire: Spring, Hibernate, etc: http://www.vaannila.com/.

Spring looks promising, especially if there are plugins to generate stuff. In ideal world, no one should mess XML by hand. Spring+Hibernate seems to be easier than hibernate itself.

But more important question is: what do you gain by object-orienting databases using wrappers? You will have endless nightmare with XML fighting to make it crank out the query you want.
