JavaServer Faces is a new technology that makes it much easier to create rich user interfaces for Web applications. This self-paced introductory course gives those new to JSF a running start in taking advantage of this new technology. The course enables developers to build complete JSF applications, using most of the customizable features of JSF (including validation and conversion). The course focuses less on theory and more on hands-on examples, tips, and techniques to provide students with a practical cost-effective grounding in JSF.

If you would like to see a demo version of the class with one lesson/topic available, go to http://learn.exadel.com , select "JSF Training Demo Course", and login as guest.

Students who complete this course will "take away" at least the following key benefits:

• Be able to build a JSF application
• Understand the JSF Page Lifecycle
• Take advantage of the customization features in JSF (for example, custom validators)
• Receive an introduction to Exadel Studio (an Eclipse plug-in for Web applications, including complete JSF support)

This course is self-paced for maximum flexibility while still allowing full access to an instructor for questions and checking assignments. Students can begin and finish the course at any time within 6 months after purchase. On average, though, the course is completed in 4 weeks.

The course is taught online. Each student is issued a password-protected account for accessing the home page for the class at learn.exadel.com. The course contains about 20 lessons. Each lesson consists of hands-on examples and assignments.

For each lesson, students will:

• Read a short explanation of the current topic.
• Complete all hands-on examples. (You will actually be writing short sample applications.)
• Complete short assignments or answer questions.
• Discuss the material with students and instructors in the classroom forum.
