Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g: Build Applications with ADF I

 Oracle University provides a downloadable eKit containing the training materials for this course.

What you will learn:

Java EE is a standard, robust, scalable, and secure platform that forms the basis for many of today’s enterprise applications. Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) is an innovative, yet mature Java EE development framework available and is directly supported and enabled by Oracle JDeveloper 11g. Oracle ADF simplifies Java EE development by minimizing the need to write code that implements the application’s infrastructure allowing the users to focus on the features of the actual application.

This course is aimed at developers who need to build Java EE applications using Oracle ADF. Participants use Oracle JDeveloper 11g to build, test and deploy an end-to-end web application. They also learn about implementation of Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, an ADF architecture. The data model is built with ADF Business Components and the user interface with ADF Faces. During the course, participants learn to build each part of the application with the Fusion technology stack and then deploy it to WebLogic Server.

Learn To:

• Build end-to-end web applications
• Develop Java EE components with Oracle ADF
• Build rich user interfaces with ADF Faces
• Use the new capabilities of Oracle JDeveloper 11g
