Combining theory with real-world examples, it's the ultimate guide for Oracle and J2EE developers. Overview Utilize best practices for real-life enterprise application development Plan and estimate your very own ADF project Successfully organize your code and your team for maximum efficiency In Detail Modern enterprise applications must be user-friendly, visually attractive, and fast - much like Oracle Fusion applications. Oracle are using the Application Development Framework (ADF) for their own development, and now you can too. However, you need a proven method to use this powerful and flexible tool in order to achieve consistent success in your enterprise applications. Oracle ADF Enterprise Application Development - Made Simple, Second Edition doesn't just cover the theory behind Oracle ADF, it clearly explains how to get the most out of the technology. Just like you need to do more than just wield a hammer to build a house, you need to do more than just master ADF technology to build a successful enterprise application. This book gives you the blueprint you need to ensure success. This book takes you through an entire enterprise application development project using ADF, from proof of concept through all phases of development until the final application is delivered and deployed. The book shows you the support tools you need for source control and issue tracking as well as how to use them productively to develop an enterprise application. It explains enterprise ADF application security as well as important specialty topics like skinning, customization, and internationalization. This book will provide you with all the knowledge you need to make a real-life Oracle ADF development project a success. What you will learn from this book Develop an ADF application based on database tables using both common and exotic ADF user interface components Develop necessary templates and framework classes to allow productive and flexible development Customize your applications to meet the needs and expectations of different users Estimate the effort required to build an ADF enterprise application Test your ADF enterprise application at the component, integration, and system level Understand how to secure your enterprise applications and assign roles for specific functionality Approach This book is written in an easy-to-understand style, following an enterprise development process through all the phases of development and deployment. Concepts are illustrated with real-world examples and the methods used are explained step-by-step. Who this book is written for This book is for Oracle developers looking to start using Oracle's latest development tool and J2EE developers looking for a more productive way to build modern web applications.

The missing manual
This book is a must read for every project lead and senior ADF developer. It gives an excellent overview of how an ADF team should be organized, the tools and methods to use to aid the development process.
This is not a technical guidebook on how write ADF code or solve complex technical problems, there are other books (and Oracle manuals) which cover that. This book takes a step back away from the technical detail and focuses on the bigger picture of the software development process. I think this perspective is lacking from the usual development guides, technical blogs and programming courses.
As an ADF developer for many years I could still learn a lot from reading this book. It will save me time on investigating new trends in Continous Integration, Load Testing, Automatic builds, Skinning, Customizations and more, the book gave me answers to the questions of which methodology I should use for architecting my next ADF project - at least it gives me a nice headstart in choosing the supporting tools and processes.
Although the book's title refers to Enterprise Applications it will help in smaller projects too. Every aspect of the so called Enterprise Applications needs be considered for smaller applications as well, some will be considered not needed or irrelivant but that choice must be made based on facts that can be found in this book.
The book refers to the (now) latest version of Oracle JDeveloper, 12c and discusses some of the new tools integrated therein. But still applies to the 11g versions of JDeveloper and ADF.
The book goes through the process of building a small (and functional) application so it is also a nice introduction to ADF development.
So if you are a project manager willing to learn a little about ADF Development or an ADF Developer willing to learn a little about project management this book is well worth reading.

I like the book because it's not tecchnical reference. Include a real example for develop a real project. A lot of books are more technical, include examples but only technical. This is more a step step guide with a lot of suggestions for help in development life cycle.
The book begins with a simple proof of concept and follows a cycle of development. After the proof of concept, the book guides you to set up all you need for work, he suggests a lot of tools that can help you to develop real applications. I think that it includes all topics for developing a real software, from analysis and estimating the effort, how to improve the appearance using skin, templates or how to customize the same project for different companies or users without changing your principal development. The book includes a chapter about implementing security by users and roles. Finally, it includes a step by step guide for packaging and delivering the software, and includes an append for giving some tips for localizing your application.

I like the book for the way the content was presented, it gives you the complete details of what you can do with ADF. Author has organized the topics to help IT managers and developers understand the concepts of ADF to estimate the effort and design better solutions. I liked the way the author explained the implementation using the use cases, which makes reader to understand the concepts very easily. This book gives another dimension to the experienced developers to understand more on architecting the ADF project
I would recommend this book to the new Project teams to understand the features and implementation guidelines.
