An invitation to join the JDeveloper ADF Enterprise Methodology Group

Short cut: Visit the ADF Enterprise Methodology Group's Google Group right now to check out our groups latest discussions.

Introduction

You can easily tell when a tool has matured to being a productive environment. Software developers move from playing and learning features, to supporting production systems and discussing best practices and development methodologies to ensure the success of their next project.

The ADF Enterprise Methodology Group is such a place for community discussions based around JDeveloper best practices and methodologies for ADF Enterprise development. On a day by day bases ADF "experts" (that's anyone that knows what ADF stands for ;-) chat about high level ADF concepts, beyond the how-do-I-get-it-to-work posts on the OTN JDeveloper Forums.

In addition this effort is an overall part of getting ADF experts, advocates and programmersto start collaborating at user group events and OOW to get "ADF out there".

Can I participate?

Certainly. Join our Google Group where we're discussing this right now.

Upcoming events

We have 3 sessions at Oracle OpenWorld 2009 in San Francisco - one in the main conference (kindly donated by ODTUG) and two in the Unconference. Then in Europe at the end of November we have a session at the UKOUG Conference Series - Technology & E-Business Suite 2009.

Where's the Wiki content gone?

Previous contributors to the ADF Methodology group will notice that some of the content on this Wiki has gone. We're in the process of consolidating the content onto the Google Group to make a central location of all efforts, including discussions, whitepapers, files and more. Please contact Chris Muir for more information.
