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.

Section 2: Working with Data and Services

The main focus of all the chapters in this section is to explain how to work with data and REST APIs. Without knowing how data is stored in VB and how to communicate with external applications, you cannot build an application because data is the basis of each and every application that exists.

In the first few chapters, you will learn how to manage data within VB and import and export bulk data. We will work with different external REST APIs to communicate with external applications, and then we will start building the web application in the later chapters of this section.

This section comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 4, Creating and Managing Business Objects
  • Chapter 5, Creating and Managing Service Connections
  • Chapter 6, Building Web Applications Using Real World Examples
  • Chapter 7, Working with Life Cycle Events, Validations, and UI Logic
