Oracle ADF Enterprise Application Development - Made Simple

Overview of this book

<p>With Application Development Framework (ADF), Oracle gives you the tool its own developers use. Modern enterprise applications must be user-friendly, visually attractive, and fast performing and Oracle Fusion Applications are just that; but to get the desired output you need proven methods to use this powerful and flexible tool to achieve success in developing your enterprise applications.</p> <p>Just as you need to know more than how to wield a hammer to build a house, you need more than knowing ADF to build a successful enterprise application. This book explains how to use the technology, create a blueprint, and organize your work to ensure success.</p> <p>This book takes you through an entire enterprise application development project using ADF. The book begins with a proof of concept, demonstrating the basics of the ADF technology, and then moves on to estimating the effort. You will then learn the necessary skills required to structure your project, your code, and how to build a successful enterprise project with ADF.</p> <p>Additional topics allow you to explore the support tools required for source control and issue tracking, learn to integrate them into your development environment, and use them productively to develop an enterprise application. Out-of-the-box functionalities such as skinning, customization, and internationalization are discussed at length.</p>

Organizing the work


A climber on an expedition to Mount Everest does not just step out of his tent one morning in base camp, pick up his rucksack, and head for the mountain. He starts out by carefully planning the stages of his climb, splitting the total task into smaller subtasks. This allows him to focus on the task at hand and give his full concentration to climbing through the dangerous Khumbu Icefall at 18,000 feet – without worrying about the Hillary Step at 28,840 feet just below the summit.

While enterprise ADF development might lack the glory (and danger) of climbing Mount Everest, the idea of concentrating on the one task at hand still applies. Especially while you are new to ADF development, concentrate on one task to avoid being overwhelmed by the full complexity of the whole application. This is another reason to build your enterprise application as a number of separate subsystems.

Preconditions

Just like the Mount Everest climber, you need skills, tools and favorable conditions...
