Introduction to Groovy Support in JDeveloper 11g
Don't know if you have tried to use Groovy in JDeveloper. It's a scripting language that allows agile development of business logic right inside of your ADF Business Components.
Personally, I felt the developer guides didn't do the feature justice so I've written up a white paper on the subject.
This should cover the major use cases and features with a few hints and tips thrown in for good measure. If you have any comments on the paper please post here and I will try to incorporate.
Callling all Oracle Developers! Special Interest Group
If you are developing using Oracle tools like Oracle Forms, JDeveloper, Apex, SOA or .Net then you might be interested to attend the UKOUG Special Interest Group on the 12th May.
This event will have both customers and Oracle experts presenting and discussing the future and technical challenges of developing for the Oracle platform.
The day will start off with an insight into Oracle future business applications, followed by three streams covering development, modeling and .Net.
So, you are looking to modernize your Forms, team develop with JDeveloper, get back into logical data modeling or get into Apex and SOA, then this is the place to be.
As well as the technical sessions there will be panel sessions and a chance to network with like minded developers.
