The Step-by-Step Guide to Building World-Class Portlet Solutions–Fast!
Portlet development traditionally has been difficult and time-consuming, requiring
costly resources and specialized expertise in multiple technologies. IBM®
WebSphere® Portlet Factory simplifies and accelerates portlet development,
enabling developers to build world-class portlet solutions without in-depth
knowledge of portal technology.
Expert developer David Bowley walks you through several of today’s most
common portlet development scenarios, demonstrating how to create powerful,
robust portlets quickly and cost-effectively. Each walkthrough contains all
the step-by-step instructions, detailed guidance, fast answers, and working
sample code you need to get tangible results immediately.
The best resource available on WebSphere Portlet Factory, this bookreflects
Bowley’s unsurpassed experience constructing large enterprise portals.
Bowley covers everything from back-end integration to user interface and AJAX
techniques, helping you choose the right builder tool for each task, and define
high-level instructions that generate superior code artifacts. His example projects
are simple enough to understand easily, but sophisticated enough to be valuable
in real-world development.
This book will be indispensable to every developer who wants to succeed with
WebSphere Portlet Factory, including Java™, J2EE™, and SOA developers
at all levels of expertise, as well as Lotus® Notes® developers transitioning
to WebSphere Portal.
