10. Part 1 What is ADF?

12. The Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) is an end-to-end application framework that builds on J2EE standards and open-source technologies to simplify and accelerate implementing service-oriented applications. If you develop enterprise solutions that search, display, create, modify, and validate data using web, wireless, desktop, or web services interfaces, Oracle ADF can simplify your job. Used in tandem, Oracle JDeveloper 11g and Oracle ADF give you an environment that covers the full development lifecycle from design to deployment, with drag-and-drop data binding, visual UI design, and team development features built-in.

32. Part 3 And (Most Importantly!) Why is ADF of Practical Value to You?

34. Part 3.1 Future Proof Part 3.2 Choice Part 3.3 Reuse

35. Part 3.1 Future Proof Investing wisely in your technology choices

41. Part 3.2 Choice Avoid limiting your options

43. Part 3.3 Reuse The old rules are still the best

47. Easier to design Easier to read Easier to comprehend Easier to test Easier to debug Easier to change Easier to reuse Axiom: any duplicated code should become a module = Reduced system cost + Increased developer productivity + Less time to market + Increased business satisfaction

49. Skins Defines basic application look & feel An abstracted named extension of CSS files No different from other web solutions, except: – All ADF components support skin styleclasses – At runtime the user can switch skins

52. Page Templates Define a single common page template Contains: – Static content shared by all consumers – Dynamic content injected by each consumer – Attributes Define attributes: – Values passed from consumer – Displayed by page template Reuse – By 1 or more pages or fragments – By 1 or more applications

58. Declarative Components Pages are made up of repetitive components Easy for programmers to mess these up Declarative components – Define a component group – Reuse throughout your application – Parameter driven – Consistent look & feel & behaviour – Can be shared across applications too

61. The Killer Reuse Feature These features are good but they’re not revolutionary in web design Here’s the feature that sets ADF above all other web frameworks
