REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Versant Corporation (Nasdaq:VSNT), a worldwide leader in developing data management software infrastructure for complex, mission-critical applications,announced today that it will host a free webinar to show developers how existing Java Persistence API (JPA) programming skills can be leveraged to create NoSQL-based applications.
The webinar, "So you think you know JPA? Think again", will be held on February 22, 2012 at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time and challenges the popular notion that JPA is only suitable for programming relational databases and applications. During the webinar, Versant's VP of Product Strategy and Marketing, Dirk Bartels, and Director of Professional Services for Versant, Matthew Barker, will introduce a new JPA implementation for Big Data and NoSQL applications. They will compare the performance of Versant JPA to other NoSQL and relational JPA products and provide essential guidelines to evaluate the products for different types of applications, workloads, and class models.
"If you're a developer these days, you know that NoSQL technologies have become the buzz to meet Big Data's demands" says Bartels. "But you are also concerned that most of these technologies may still be immature, may not be able to support complex enterprise information models, and require learning a proprietary application programming interface. Put simply, we don't believe developers should have to learn a new API, and we want to show you how we've built Versant JPA to realize that vision in this webinar."
