Essentials of Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software UK Classes & Lessons (IBM Rational)

Also known as: RD521GBGB

About this class

The course helps designers and developers get started with using Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software. Students gain a hands-on experience with Rational Application Developer as they are introduced to a number of features, supporting concepts, and integration with other tools.

Students learn the basic skills needed to use Rational Application Developer for developing applications while also learning basic UML editing techniques, static code analysis, code review, and runtime analysis.

Who will the lesson benefit?

Developers of J2EE enterprise applications who:

Do detailed design and write code.
Are familiar with WebSphere Application Server.
Can interpret simple UML (design model) diagrams: use-case, class, and sequence diagrams.
Wish to follow a software engineering process, supported by best practices.
Work as part of a team of developers and an architect (who uses RSA, and produces artifacts that are consumable by Rational Application Developer users).

What delegates will learn

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

Describe the perspectives and views in Rational Application Developer used to develop Java and J2EE applications.
Customise views and perspectives.
Describe the project types used in Rational Application Developer to develop J2EE applications.
Import the design model artifacts of an application that have been produced by an Architect using Rational Software Architect (and made available for consumption by the Rational Application Developer users).
Use Rational Application Developer's UML editor to model enterprise beans and Java classes.
Develop diagrams and code in Rational Application Developer as part of a development team.
Publish and share class diagrams.
Employ SCM best practices to manage diagrams and source code while working on a team.
Perform run-time analysis in Rational Application Developer.
Perform component testing.
Use Code Review capabilities to conduct a static analysis of code.
Create or import projects under ClearCase control in Application Developer
Perform ClearCase functions from within Application Developer

What prerequisites are required

It is recommended that the student take one of the following courses or an equivalent:

Essentials of Visual Modeling (ILT) or the Principles of Modeling (WBT) series.
Application Development using IBM WebSphere Studio UML Visual Editor
