Developing Ajax-Enabled Seam Applications Using Adobe Dreamweaver and NetBeans
This talk focuses on combining the creative power of Adobe Dreamweaver with the productivity of NetBeans to develop next-generation JSF applications. Participants will learn how to use Dreamweaver code hints and the syntax auto-complete feature to develop Ajax-enabled JSF pages using the RichFaces Tools for Dreamweaver and Seam Tools for Dreamweaver plugins.
Techniques for separating application development concerns, such as user interface design and backing bean programming, will be demonstrated. The presentation will be mostly hands-on with a live demonstration of how to build a simple JSF application using standard and custom components from start to finish using Adobe Dreamweaver, NetBeans, the SeamGen utility, and a MySQL database.
