To develop a comprehensive understanding of the community of developers, tech leads and architects on IBM’s WebSphere Portlet Factory automation tooling (WPF 7.0) and techniques & best practices on rapid construction of portlets, widgets and J2EE applications for the WebSphere Platform that have rich user interfaces and are readily integrated with services and disparate back-ends.

• Automating Software Patterns and Construction of Custom Builders
• Advance Profiling concepts and leveraging profiling to construct smart-phone applications
• Techniques on Integration with disparate back-ends including relational databases, Web-Services, ERP systems (SAP etc.), Domino, Data Warehouses (Cognos et al) and Content Management Systems (WCM, Filenet etc.)

Automating Portlet Patterns - Custom Builders & Rich Data Definition

The following topics are presented in this course:

• Identifying common Patterns and Capturing Builder Design
• Model Based Builder Construction
• Java Based Builder Construction
• Design considerations for Portlet Factory Builders
• Automating Patterns using Rich Data-Definition

• Portlet Factory's dynamic profiling capability enabling multi-channel Rendering from a single code base
• Profiling of any builders that generate UI to optimize the UI and layout for different device types (Smartphone Applications)
• Profile Customizer and constructing custom ‘Edit’ and ‘Configure” pages in WebSphere Portal

• Advance Partial-Page Refresh and AJAX techniques
• Building immersive visual experience using Dojo Lightbox & Dojo Hover Tab Container
• Improving information organization with Dojo Accordian Container & Dojo Slider
• Usage of microformats & creation of flexible application layouts using Dojo Border Container
• Creating advanced visualizations with IBM ILOG JViews charting engine

At the Streebo Academy – there is no “death by PowerPoint” or please move into a “listen only” mode – rather we keep our participants fully engaged.  Prior to on-boarding you in one of our training class, we will spend some time with you to understand your expectations from the training, review the use-cases you are attempting to solve and the portal solutions that you are trying to build. Once we fully comprehend how you plan to employ this tool we will customize the training message to ensure your success.

Each faculty member in our Academy has over a decade of experience in WebSphere Portal development. Many of our top faculty members work closely with IBM engineering and Lab Services teams to develop Factory based automated solutions and build courseware and certifications related to products and offerings around IBM’s Factory technology. All our instructors bring real-world experience to their workshops and classes - this makes the training fun and gives learning a whole new meaning.
