Oracle JDeveloper 10g: Build Applications with ADF

This course is designed for developers who will build J2EE applications using the accelerated productivity of Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF). You will learn how to build end-to-end applications efficiently, including both the MVC-based client components and the business services that are utilized by them. During the course, you will use the visual editors and modelers in Oracle JDeveloper 10g to design and build your ADF components.

The classroom practices focus on Web-based clients using Jakarta Struts and JavaServer Pages, supported by ADF Business Components.
