Overview of this book

This book will give you a complete practical understanding of the Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET) and how you can use it to develop efficient client-side applications with ease. It will tell you how to get your own customized Oracle JET set up. You'll start with individual libraries, such as jQuery, Cordova, and Require.js. You'll also get to work with the JavaScript libraries created by Oracle, especially for cloud developers. You'll use these tools to create a working backend application with these libraries. Using the latest Oracle Alta UI, you'll develop a state-of-the-art backend for your cloud applications. You'll learn how to develop and integrate the different cloud services required for your application and use other third-party libraries to get more features from your cloud applications. Toward the end of the book, you'll learn how to manage and secure your cloud applications, and test them to ensure seamless deployment.

We can install grunt-cli using the following command:

Grunt tasks, including build and serve, can be enabled within NetBeans IDE to resolve this problem by performing the following steps:

  1. Right-click on the project's root folder and select Build (as follows), which gives us the option:
