“ADF is a Java framework. Do you need to know Java? The clue is in the name!”– Grant Ronald, Oracle Open World 2014!

Confucius


Do I Need to Know Java?

• Beginner– Classes, objects and methods– Data types– Simple conditional statements– Loops– Basic ADF APIs

• Intermediate• Advanced

What is the minimum I need to know?

• Beginner• Intermediate– Basic inheritance– Exception handling– Casting– Lists/Arrays

• Advanced

What would an intermediate developer know?




• Beginner• Intermediate• Advanced– Class design– Framework extensions– Project level decisions• Reuse• Development/Coding Standards

What should my advanced developers know?



Java You Don’t Need to Know

• Java I/O fundamentals• Java File I/O• JDBC• Threads• Concurrency

Avoid Java overload (at least at the beginning)

Understanding the Java Platform

• JavaServer Faces– Lifecycle (possibly essential)

• HTTP session management• UI technologies– HTML– JavaScript– CSS

Not essential but “nice to have”

Understanding the Java Platform

• The “E” in JEE is for “Enterprise”– ADF doesn’t completely protect you

• There is an “ecosystem” of development aids– Source control– Continuous integration– Automated builds– Testing frameworks– Team collaboration

With power comes responsibility

“There is a reason why the platform supports all these features, in the long run they will make life easier.”– Grant Ronald, Oracle Open World 2014!
