IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) is a new generation of Java application development environment built on the Eclipse open platform (www.eclipse.org). It has many new features that the traditional IDEs do not provide, for example, the role-based development models, the plug-in based flexibility of developing and adding new functionality to the environment.

This course is intended for Java programmers who are interested in using WSAD to build their applications.

Applications you develop during the course are based on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) component model that uses servlets and JSPs for the control and flow of e-business applications. You are going to use WSAD to develop J2EE applications, including servlets, JSPs, and Enterprise JavaBeans, debug and test them in the WSAD built-in WebSphere Application Server test environment. You will also use WSAD to some other stand-alone Java applications.
