What you should know

“

- [Instructor] To get the most out of this course, you should be comfortable developing in Java, and you should have some knowledge of the lightweight data interchange format, JSON. You should be familiar with JSON's conventions, and how Java upticks are serialized. That is, what a Java object looks like when it is transformed into JSON. If you're not familiar with JSON, or how to use Java EE's JSON processing API, you should watch my course "JSON Processing with Java EE", which covers in depth all you need to know about the JSON-P API. The front-end application is developed in HTML and JavaScript with a little help from JSF and primefaces. You only need to have minimal knowledge of these to follow development of the front-end. If you're comfortable with these technologies, you should have no trouble following along with this course. Once you learn how to develop using the Jackcess API, you'll find it a powerful way to share your applications data with clients, and consume third-party RESTful endpoints. And, as you already know, REST is everywhere these days, so you won't have any problems finding an excuse to use the knowledge and skills you obtain in this course in your applications. The project source code has been packaged as a Maven project, so it can be set up with minimal friction and an IDE that supports Maven projects. The IDE that I will be using in this course is IntelliJ Ultimate Edition. However, you can use any IDE that you like. Ideally, it should be able to support Maven projects. NetBeans IDE is a good alternative, and so to is Eclipse. If you wish to use the same IDE as I will be using, you can download a trial version of the Ultimate Edition from the JetBrains website. This project is developed using Java EE 7, and takes advantage of some of the new features of Java SE 8, and therefore this JDK is required. You should also find that the code examples are compatible with Jackcess API in Java EE 8, and future Enterprise editions of the platform.
