10+ Hours of Video Instruction

Java is the world’s most widely used programming language. It is the dominant language used for Web-based applications, and it is the technology that runs google.com, ebay.com, travelocity.com, hotels.com, walmart.com, ikea.com, and thousands of other sites. Servlets and JSP have long been the standards for building Web apps in Java, but in many applications, they are now considered too low-level for modern requirements that include complex validation, Ajax, and reusable components. So, a number of higher-level frameworks have sprung up, and the only one that is part of the official Java EE specification is JSF (JavaServer Faces). Although JSF 1.x was very widely used, it was considered a bit clunky and tedious to develop with. However, the new JSF 2.0 release is dramatically better: simpler, more powerful, and with integrated Ajax support. JSF 2.0 is now part of the Java EE 6 specification, but it can also be used separately in ordinary Java-enabled servers like Tomcat, or in servers like JBoss 5, WebSphere 7, or WebLogic 10 that support only earlier Java EE versions.

Building Ajaxified Web Applications with JSF 2.0 – LiveLessons Video Training provides a complete introduction to the fundamentals of JSF programming as well as the new JSF-2.0-specific features. It covers everything from installation and configuration, to programming basics, to advanced topics like page templating with Facelets and using the JSF looping tags.

In 15 clear and well-motivated lessons, you’ll learn exactly what you need to know to take advantage of the dramatic improvements in JSF 2.0, including integrated Ajax support and composite components.¿ Other key topics covered include:

•¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Managed beans

•¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Explicit page navigation control

•¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Properties files, messages, and I18N

•¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Responding to GUI events

•¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Validating user data

•¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Handling variable-length results data with ui:repeat

•¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Creating tables out of collections with h:dataTable

•¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Using view parameters, handling GET requests, and bookmarking pages
