Come near Gavin King

Gavin King is the founder of Hibernate, a member of the EJB3.0 Committee of Experts, one of JBoss's core members and author of Hibernate in action. Gavin King1974 was born in a small town called Mudgee and now lives in Farmall, Australia. Gavin's obsession with doing things began when he was 11 years old, and his earliest software development effort was ruined by an extremely bad, unstable Commodore 64 tape drive. Gavin King studied mathematics at Monash University, and in September 2003, Gavin King joined JBoss to fully lead the development of hibernate and provide the best service and training to clients. Currently, Gavin King is responsible for the development of the JBoss Hibernate and the new Hibernate project based on the CMP engine in Red Hat company.


Let the time go back to 2001, in Clarence Street, Sydney, Australia, a company called Cirrus Technologies, a company that does Java EE Enterprise application development and consulting, a guy and boss is having a heated discussion at the conference table. Lad: "Boss, I always feel that the efficiency of development is too low now, when I used the EJB's entity Bean 1.1, I always felt like I'd wasted a lot of time dealing with the architecture of the entity Bean, but didn't take the time to develop the core business logic, and CMP gave us too many restrictions. Boss: "Gavin, don't be silly, EJB is the industry's standard, but also the most popular technology, and our company is IBM's partner." If there is a problem, the problem is that we have not yet adapted to this development model. Lad: "No, I think there must be a better solution." We can design a better solution than the entity bean. Boss: "Oh, Gavin, I know you are smart, and the level of development is good." But it's hard to develop such a system, and you haven't developed any database system in SQL. Don't think of such an unrealistic goal. The lad frowned and said, "No, I believe I have the ability to develop this system." My idea is absolutely feasible. (Note: The above scenario is purely fictional, but at least the following is true: Gavin King has two motivations for developing hibernate: Discovering CMP is too abusive; winning a dispute with the boss.) Gavin King did not have any experience with SQL development database, Gavin King development Hibernate first thing is to go to the street to buy a book on the basis of SQL) Perhaps Cirrus Technologies's boss never dreamed of two years later, This young man developed the product will become the world's most popular O/R mapping tools, and that the SQL and database of the young man can become the world's Java database Solution leader. This is Gavin King, a passionate, stubborn, never-failing man. His accomplishments may be known to all the world's Java people: he is the founder of Hibernate, the actual leader of EJB 3.0 's Entity Bean Specification (Sun-appointed leader should be Linda Demichiel) He was also the author of the classic book Hibernate in Action, and he also participated in the development of Xdoclet and Middlegen, and he lectured and lectured at various prestigious conferences around the world (Theserverside Symposium, etc.). September 2003, Gavin King and HibSome of Ernate's developers have joined JBoss. This allows them to develop hibernate full-time and provide the best service and training.
It may be a matter of discussing Hibernate's success and influence here that the world knows is superfluous. Gavin King's fiery temper and conceit are also known to look at Gavin King's own interesting evaluations: even when I ' m a rude grumpy bastard answering forum posts at 3am, I ' m always Happy to people using Hibernate. (a bit out of context, hehe, posted out for fun). Take a look at Gavin King's performance: in 1, March 2005, a vendor versant in Jdo, in his paper, pointed to many of Hibernate's many so-called flaws, and Gavin King made a relentless counterattack. In the 2, September 2003, Gavin King challenged the world on his website: who would be able to use JDBC for a piece of code to make it much more efficient than hibernate, and give him 100 dollars. 3, Rod Johnson in 2005 Theserverside Symposium to the JBoss of the people wearing a mask to wear clown clothing expressed the opinion: "Neither I nor any of my colleagues would be dressing u P as film characters ". Look at Gavin King's comeback: "But Rod, you ' d make such a great egghead! Didn ' t take youself so damn seriously, which is Wink while we ' re on the topic, who else has noticed D has a double-phallic name? ". Oh, a little dirty bribe words, Robbin even think Gavin King's character has a problem, I think Gavin King's character should be no problem, but the character is so, hehe. 4, a company will their O/R mapping tool in an application for performance testing, and compared with Hibernate. It's a lot quicker, Gavin King took a day to test and then made a strong retort. (blog that post can not find, so I can't remember what he said) 5, Gavin King on the blog publicly on JDO evaluation, that JDO no future, a lot of popular bad. Say it again.Gavin King's Speech and lectures, Gavin has a very good voice, slightly hoarse but very clear. But his mantra is too much, in a sentence will be out of countless "you know." And always feel that although he did a lot of lectures, but still seem very nervous. But if listen to his content, actually quite good, and will do a lot of hand-style and some strange expression, hehe. But he is often with Christian Bauer to do hibernate in action lectures, feel two people with very bad, sometimes thinking also not good number, and not like Joshua Bloch and Neal Gafter as churlish, seamless, It's easy to distract people. I don't know why two of people always go together.
