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.

Learning about the tools for debugging applications

In the software development life cycle, every developer has to deal with different types of known and unknown issues. Developers deliver the application for the end users but sometimes it does not work as expected due to various issues, such as data issues, server issues, network issues, and so on. But it's the developer's responsibility to find out the root cause of the issues and fix it. This is where debugging comes into play.

Visual Builder follows the multi-tier architecture to develop web and mobile applications, so developers might need to debug the applications at each layer to find out the root cause. Since VB is a UI tool, developers have to be dependent on the browser development tools to debug the applications. All browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and so on) offer development tools to debug applications. You can simply open the browser development tools using the F12 key.
