Sun Educational Services (a division of Sun Microsystems, Inc.) offers
a three-day instructor led course on JavaBeans
Component Development.
Course Description: Developers taking this class will gain the essential
knowledge and skills to create JavaBeans components that run on every Java
virtual machine and can be re-used in the widest variety of development
tools, containers, and popular environments available.
See the SunService
web site for a complete course outline, schedules, fees and registration
information.
Online Training
The Java Developer Connection
(JDC) provides a three part series of articles to facilitate getting started
developing JavaBeans components. To access these articles, you must be
a JDC member. JDC membership is free to individual developers. See
the JDC web site to enroll.
- JavaBeans,
Part One: This is the first in a series of articles introducing JavaBeans.
This article presents Beans from a conceptual point of view, and introduces
you to component technology, properties, methods, events, and application
builder tools.
- JavaBeans,
Part Two: The second article in the series presents code that shows
you how to build simple Beans, and how to package them for distribution
as JAR files.
- JavaBeans,
Part Three: The third part shows how to use the BeanBox application
provided with the JavaBeans Development Kit (BDK) to test Beans you have
built. The BeanBox provides important feedback that lets you determine
if your Beans will behave as expected in third-party builder tools and
application programs.

DEVELOPER PROGRAMS

The Java Developers Connection
(JDC) is for individual developers. JDC offers a host of services including
on-line training, product discounts and feature articles. JDC also features
on-line discussion forums with industry luminaries like James Gosling,
among others. It is free to developers.
JavaSelect
provides a set of marketing and technical services that can accelerate
product development, focus marketing efforts and expose products and/or
services to the right audience at the right time. The technical support
provides 50 incidents of technical support and copies of the latest technologies
and products via CD. JavaSelect costs $4,995 annually.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT SEARCH

A technical
support knowledgebase is available for free as part of the Java Developer Connection (JDC). While
incident-based technical support is not a feature of the JDC, you can search
the question and answer database for any technical questions you have,
and bug reports you want to know about. In addition, the search database
includes the entire contents of the JDC program. For example, if your search
keywords occur in any technical articles, or online training courses, then
your search will take you there. You might also want to read the transcripts
from the Java Live discussion
forums that cover your area of interest.
If, however, you need incident-based technical support, we recommend the
Sun
Developer Support service.
