Free ADF training from Oracle Product Management

[grant ronald]

One of the findings from a recent survey you may have seen on this
forum, was that many of you are looking for online training in advanced ADF.

I'm therefore pleased to announce that we are trialling a new ecourse
format for advanced ADF training.

This is FREE, self paced online training focusing on core and advanced
ADF topics, delivered by some of the key members of the Oracle Product
Management team and is the same core training material we've been
running for our internal teams within Oracle.

We are releasing the ecourse in a number of stages, the first of which
covers an ADF overview, bindings, projects and task flows.

Our hope is that this will give you a free, structured and self paced
set of training modules allowing you to expand and consolidate you and
your team's ADF skills.

As always, please feel free to email me directly with any comments or
suggestions.

thanks

This is good. More advanced topics can be included in the future
release.
Thumbs Up!

Hi, 

The "Fusion Architecture Review" section is of great value - especially, the high level "Fusion Architecture" diagram - We could use distributable handouts. 

It basically gives a very clear picture of how the SOA/BPM infrastructure and a conventional J2EE application complement each other. Each piece of technology is optimally suited for specific types of problems. 

The hype over "SOA" in the past few years has, in my opinion, could have lead to some unsustainable architecture implementations, with attempts being made to use one 'silver bullet' technology for everything.

I had a hard time looking for this diagram when explaining to a client why SOA Suite on its own wasn't best suited for implementing everything from the most granular business services (CRUD? really?) to page flows (!!). 

I finally managed to locate it here: https://blogs.oracle.com/soacommunity/resource/fusiontorsten.JPG

I have had to explain a few things over and over:

1. Business Process Orchestration resides at a much higher level (inter application, integration, inter departmental) and what end-users sometimes see as a 'process' is really something akin to a train flow best implemented in a controller technology (such as the ADF task flow)

2. If an end user initiates a transaction that updates multiple back-end systems, that's a classic use-case for the loosely coupled, 'event driven architecture' projected by this diagram. (Good usability would suggest an end-user only having to wait for a 'master' application to commit their data, raise events, then let the 'business process' take over asynchronously behind to scenes and only notify errors).

3. That business rules are not meant for trivial validations such as those on business domain objects. (a sample of this exists on this very mailing list)

ADF EMG members will be interested to know Oracle has now published part 2 of it's *FREE* Advanced ADF Training course.  You can find it here: http://bit.ly/M1Oehn

There are other training courses in the works.  However if there's a significant hole in our training repertoire please let your friendly product manager know.

Hi Vinay,

Not exactly the same as the ADF Advanced Training but we have: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/portal/learnmore/wcportal-onlinetraining-444652.html

It's valuable.

Maybe the Webcenter PM's are preparing (I hope) some surprise for us...=)

Cheers,

Andre Araujo
