TECHNICAL RESOURCES
Make use of multiple products to develop your application. Start with Rational Unified Process to plan the project effectively. Use Eclipse to do the coding in Java technology, and use IBM DB2 Express-C to store and manage the database effectively. WebSphere Community Edition should be used to host the application. Please spend some time to understand the way WebSphere CE should be configured and managed for better productivity. And use Tivoli Storage Manager to manage the back-end database effectively. Using all these products to develop your application will help in your overall understanding of different software tools and their usage in the development of a high-end solution. Your skills will also be enhanced and will be of immense help to any organization you decide to work for. Why XML? XML provides you with a great deal of functionality and power. To top it off, it is a fairly simple and straightforward technology. Once you learn the basics, you can pick and choose what you want to learn. If you are a programmer, you can concentrate on programming and the various APIs. If not, you can concentrate on the various uses that do not involve programming. Either way, you are sure to find a place for XML in your work in today's world. Need help getting started with XML? The developerWorks XML zone (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml) contains articles, tutorials, and tips to help developers with XML-based development. This section provides an overview for readers who want to learn about XML, but don't know where to start. It also helps you get organized and start on your way -- whether you want to understand what XML is all about, explore Ajax, mashups, or RSS, or prepare for XML certification.

New to XML? * What is XML? * What can I do with XML? Platform-independent configuration and deployment * instructions * Does XML lend itself to application development? * Transforming XML data (XSLT) * Can I use XML with my favorite programming language? * Are there existing XML vocabularies and applications? * How is XML related to Web services and SOA? * What does the future hold for XML?

Must Read * Query DB2 XML data with XQuery * Develop Java applications for DB2 XML data * XML programming in Java technology Working XML: Using XSLT for content * management * Build apps using AJAX * Mashups: The new breed of Web app * Get ready for XForms * Voice enabling XML, a new four-part series * Practical business graphing with SVG and XML

* What is the best way for me to improve my XML skills?

* Content feeds with RSS 2.0

Tools and technologies

Eclipse The Eclipse IDE is developed by an open source community that focuses on developing a universal platform of frameworks and powerful tools that make it easy and cost-effective to build and deploy software. The Eclipse Platform is a multi-dimensional tool that developers use in different ways. Eclipse provides a platform to quickly prototype, collaborate, and share ideas built on a common architecture. This powerful and extensible platform also makes it easy to develop large-scale applications. For Java developers, Eclipse is:

Intuitive and easy to use Flexible and supports hundreds of available plug-ins that can enhance your experience Optimized for Java development Consistent, providing a common look and feel in tools from the many vendors who use Eclipse

Eclipse can be used for J2EE Web Development along with a Web Tools Platform (WTP) plug-in.

IBM Rational Unified Process IBM Rational software is one of the proven best practices for software and systems delivery, implementation, and effective project management. IBM Rational Unified Process is a comprehensive process framework that provides industry-tested practices for software and systems delivery and implementation and effective project management. It

is one of many processes contained within the Rational Process Library, which offers best practices suited to your particular development or project need. The Rational Unified Process process framework provides:

Processes based on best practices adopted in thousands of projects worldwide. Avoid inventing everything from scratch and reusing processes that have been successful for other organizations. Capability patterns that allow project managers to rapidly add or remove reusable chunks of processes that are addressing common problems. Since no two projects are alike, project managers can rapidly modify the process to address specific project needs. Out-of-the-box delivery processes to provide the project manager with a quick starting point for planning and initiating a project. A delivery process will provide an initial project template, identify what milestones to have in the project, what work products to deliver by each milestone, and what resources are needed for each phase.

SOA and Web services Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural IT style that supports the transformation of your business into a set of linked services or repeatable business tasks that can be accessed when needed over a network. This may be a local network, the Internet, or it may be geographically and technologically diverse, combining services in New York, London, and Hong Kong as though they were all installed on your local desktop. These services can coalesce to accomplish a specific business task, enabling your business to quickly adapt to changing conditions and requirements.

Web 2.0 -- Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax), mashups, wikis, blogs, and news feeds

Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of web sites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications and users. Ultimately, Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.

Java technology Java technology is both a high-level object-oriented programming language and a platform. Java technology is based on the concept of a single Java virtual machine (JVM) -- a translator between the language and the underlying software and hardware. All implementations of the programming language must emulate the JVM, enabling Java programs to run on any system that has a version of the JVM.
