Java EE 101 Lab: An Introduction

For anyone familiar with the Java language but without direct Java EE experience, the capabilities and APIs in Java EE can be a serious transition. Documentation is helpful, and well-written books can make it easier to come up to speed, but isn’t the best way to learn something to actually do it? This lab hopes to smooth the path for anyone curious about Java EE by offering a gentle, yet useful, introduction to four key concepts in the platform: JSF, CDI, JPA and EJB 3.

Using NetBeans and the bundled GlassFish application server, we will explore each new concept with live code and then complete some hands-on exercises.
