Free Multimedia Tutorials, Just 4 U!!!
Hi, Cameron McKenzie here, welcoming you to the place where you will get all sorts of free multimedia tutorials on learning how to develop JSR168 compliant portlets, completed portlet applications, mock certification exams for portal, JetSpeed2 and WebSphere Portal administration tutorials, and variety of other, all around great resources for learning J2EE, Java, Portal, WebSphere Administration, and anything else you want me to provide for you.
And yes, it's all FREE. Sure, I'm going to beg
like a street urchin to try and get you to buy some of my WebSphere, Portlet Development, or SCJA Certification books, like the nervous, wiggling SCJA book you see above, or maybe I'll even beg for you to click on a sponsored link or two, but those are just minor annoyances. The fact is, everything here is yours for the taking. So enjoy it while it's here!
The free, portal and portlet development tutorials break down into the following categories:
- Working with Open-Source Portal Technologies (JetSpeed2)
- The Basics of JSR-168 Portlet Development
- Portlet Development with IBM's Rational Application Developer
- Common Portlet Development Headaches
- PortletModes, PortletSessions and Advanced Portlet Concepts
- Portal Administration Tutorials
- Developing and Deploying the Struts Portlet
- Developing and Deploying the Java Server Faces (JSF) Portlet
- Developing Servlets, JSPs and EJBS (External Links)
The links are at the side. Scroll, down, pick the tutorial you want, and leave me some feedback on the message board.
And if you find something here helpful, please, do what you can to support the site. :)

NEW: Free Mock Portal Certification Exams!!! Man, have I ever been busy. People seem to love free, online, mock exam simulators. I put together a bunch of free online exams to promote my Sun Certified Java Associate (SCJA) books, and people have been just bugging the life out of me to create some similar online tests for the IBM Portlet Development certification exams 399 and 829. Well, I've managed to do it, and they're online now.
There are five different exams, with fifteen questions each. That's 75, free, online exam questions!!! Seriously, when you get all rich and successful, please don't forget about me.
I've actually sorta cheated on the exam link names. I've listed them on the links tab as being on five different subjects. That's a bit of bait and switch, because each of the mock exams is a mish-mash of different test 399 topics, including testing, debugging, JSR168 API concepts, C2A (Click-2-Action), WebSphere Portlet Services, Struts and JSF Portlet development, and the like. The fact is, if you can pass these tests, and know why certain answers are wrong, and why certain answers are correct, you'll do well on the actual exam. If you can't score high on these exams, you're probably not ready for the exam yet.
Here's the links to the exams:
I put these together pretty late at night. If there are any errors or typos, or even questions you have an issue with, please leave a message on the message board. I love a little portal debate. |
