Getting start using JDeveloper
This short article is based on South East Asia midsize region.
Many people in this region do not like Java because the developers feel Java code has no IDE (Integrated Development Environment) or the IDE does not run on their programming code. The question should ask here is “Why is this type of thinking emerge?” One of the obvious reason to this is the students never get to learn IDE tool from the school. Yet, do the lecturers themselves ever use any of these IDE tools? That will pretty much let the students think that the most powerful programming tool in the world is called Notepad.
There are several IDE tools for Java development in the market. I will only get start with JDeveloper in this article. JDeveloper is a tool that covers the complete development life cycle; Design -> Code -> Debug and Test -> Analyze -> Tune -> Deploy -> Versioning.

To get start with JDeveloper, try the Introduction to the JDeveloper IDE: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/10131/introide/introjdevide.htm
There are two good tutorials the developer should go through. The first tutorial is the J2EE Tutorial: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/JavaEE_tutorial_10131/index.htm. The second tutorial is ADF tutorial: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/ADF_tutorial_1013/10131/index.htm
After the demo and tutorials the developers are able to put into production environment.
