WebSphere Portal Server Development
Duration:   5 days
Audience Prerequisites

This course is for Java (J2EE Web) developers who are interested in creating portlet applications targeted for IBM WebSphere Portal server.

Students must have experience with developing Java and J2EE Web applications. Experience with WebSphere server is a plus, though not required.

Description
A portal is a Web site that provides end users with a single point of access to Web-based resources by aggregating those resources in one place. The users log in only to the portal itself and not to each application (called portlets) they use. WebSphere Portal includes the middleware, applications (portlets), and development tools for building and managing secure business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), and business-to-employee (B2E) portals.

This course covers some customization and basic administration concepts. The main focus of the course is on development of WebSphere Portlet Applications. It covers the Portal APIs in detail and how to use the Portal Toolkit to develop portlets.

This course is highly hands-on. 60% of the time will be spent doing labs.
