Introduction to Java EE 6

Overview/Description
The Java platform, Enterprise Edition, or Java EE is the enterprise edition of Java. It comprises a group of technologies that enable components for all tiers of an enterprise application to be developed. Java EE is itself a set of specifications. The Java EE 6 software development kit (SDK) is a reference implementation provided by Oracle that enables developers to build, test and deploy Java EE applications. This course provides an introduction to Java EE 6 including the functions of the Java Persistence API, Enterprise JavaBeans, client side components and the connectivity features in Java EE 6. Preparing the Java EE 6 environment and application components are also covered.

Target Audience
The audience for this path includes developers, architects, and system administrators who are interested in understanding the Java EE architecture.
