I recently updated my J2EE workshop material to support Rational Application Developer 7, WebSphere Application Server 6.1 and DB2 9 as the underlying database. These materials include presentations and hands-on labs. Some of them are exercises, where the student must work on a solution by himself or herself. The following topics are covered:

Presentations:

• Introduction to Java Programming
• Introduction to J2EE

Hands-on labs:

• Rational Application Developer 7 (RAD) installation
• Java beginner exercises
• Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) installation and basic configuration
• Creating a project using RAD
• Configuring a datasource for IDS in WebSphere Application Server 6.1 (WAS)
• Using JSTL (Java Standard Tag Library)
• Developing Custom Tags
• Introduction to JDBC
• Introduction to XML, XML Schema and XSL
• Use Java code to transform an XML document into HTML using XSL
• Creating a Web Service client using Java Server Faces (JSF)

Update (2008-01-06): I am no longer working for IBM and won’t be able to continue distributing these materials on my site. If you have any questions on how to obtain these materials you may contact me or any IBM representative. IBMers should be able to find these materials on the Xpertise Library.

And now in Spanish…

Recientemente actualicé los laboratorios de mi taller de J2EE para soportar las nuevas versiones de los prductos: Rational Application Developer 7, WebSphere Application Server 6.1 y DB2 9 como base de datos. Este taller consta de varios laboratorios y presentaciones. Los laboratorios explican paso a paso como desarrollar la aplicación y en algunos casos contienen ejercicios que deben ser completados por los estudiantes. Las presentaciones contienen conceptos importantes para entender como operan los componentes desarrollados y sirven como introducción a las tecnologías exploradas en el curso.

Presentaciones:

• Introducción a Java
• Introducción a J2EE
• Custom Tags (Referencia complementaria)
• Introducción a XML (link externo)

Laboratorios:

• Laboratorio 1: Instalación de los productos
• Laboratorio 2: Introducción a Java
• Laboratorio 3: Creación de un proyecto en RAD y Configuración de un Datasource en WAS
• Laboratorio 4: Programación con Custom Tags
• Laboratorio 5: Introducción a XML, XML Schema y XSL
• Laboratorio 6: Creación de un Web Service
• Laboratorio 7: Cliente de un Web Service con Java Server Faces
• Laboratorio 8: Message Driven Beans

Archivos referenciados en los laboratorios:

• Artefactos v2
• Guía del programador de Instant Portal

Actualización (2008-01-06): Debido a que ya no trabajo para IBM, no podré seguir distribuyendo estos materiales en mi site. Si existe alguna pregunta sobre cómo conseguir estos materiales pueden contactarme o buscar a algún representante de IBM. Los empleados de IBM podrán encontrar estos materiales en el Xpertise Library.

I recently taught a J2EE development workshop and prepared some materials in Spanish. I have decided to publish them on my website so that anyone interested in learning more about J2EE development with IBM’s products (or even without them) can take advantage of this free education option.

The materials include presentations and hands-on labs. Some of them are exercises, where the student must work on a solution by himself or herself. The following topics are covered:

Presentations:

• Introduction to Java Programming
• Introduction to J2EE

Hands-on labs:

• Rational Application Developer 6 (RAD) installation and update
• Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) installation and basic configuration
• Creating a project using RAD
• Configuring a datasource for IDS in WebSphere Application Server 6 (WAS)
• Using JSTL (Java Standard Tag Library)
• Developing Custom Tags
• Introduction to JDBC
• Introduction to XML, XML Schema and XSL
• Use Java code to transform an XML document into HTML using XSL
• Creating a Web Service client using Java Server Faces (JSF)

Rather than linking to these materials from my blog, I created a new page on my site, just click here.
