Overview of this book

Organizations are moving their applications, data, and processes to the cloud to reduce application costs, effort, and maintenance. However, adopting new technology poses challenges for developers, solutions architects, and designers due to a lack of knowledge and appropriate practical training resources. This book helps you get to grips with Oracle Visual Builder (VB) and enables you to quickly develop web and mobile applications and deploy them to production without hassle. This book will provide you with a solid understanding of VB so that you can adopt it at a faster pace and start building applications right away. After working with real-time examples to learn about VB, you'll discover how to design, develop, and deploy web and mobile applications quickly. You'll cover all the VB components in-depth, including web and mobile application development, business objects, and service connections. In order to use all these components, you'll also explore best practices, security, and recommendations, which are well explained within the chapters. Finally, this book will help you gain the knowledge you need to enhance the performance of an application before deploying it to production. By the end of this book, you will be able to work independently and deploy your VB applications efficiently and with confidence.

Staging and publishing the VB application

The VB application goes through three different phases to complete the life cycle of a web or mobile application. The following diagram shows the three different phases of a VB application:

Figure 13.10 – Different phases of an application

As you can see, these are the three phases of an application:

  • Development is the initial phase of the application and is used by developers to develop the application.
  • Stage is the second phase of the application. The application is switched into this phase when application development is completed and ready for testing.
  • Publish is the final phase of the application. The application is switched into this phase when the application functionality is ready to go live.

Every phase of the VB application has a different database schema.

Important Note:

When you stage a VB application containing a mobile application, at least one mobile application...
