This class uses OracleAS 10g (Release 9.0.4). OracleAS Portal provides an environment to create enterprise portals. An enterprise portal is a corporate gateway to information access and management. In this course, students learn to create, deploy, and test portlets, the building blocks of a portal page. Students learn to build portlets running in an Oracle database by applying the OracleAS 10g Portal Developer Kit (PDK) PL/SQL application programming interface (API). Students also learn to make portlets customizable to enable end user personalization as well as how to secure portlets. Students learn to enhance portlet performance by implementing caching and they learn to build multi-lingual portlets.
