The Oracle ADF methodology group

I have been working with J2EE since I got out of school in may 2008 and ever since that time I have been working with the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) which includes some neat features like TaskFlows and regions, but some less interesting parts like Business Components (Database-centric persistance framework).

At the beginning of my journey with Oracle java entreprise stack, I had the habit to often consult and ask questions on the JDeveloper forums. It is of great help and you are often answered lighting fast by competent people (I include my colleague Simon Lessard with which I met there at the time). Be careful to stick to the ADF subject, if you have problems with Weblogic for exemple, there is a separate forum for that.

Now I come to my point! After two years working with the technology, I found myself more autonomous and I am not reading the forums anymore. However, I read daily reports from the ADF methodology group. This is a Google group lead by Chris Muir (oracle ace director) for experienced ADF developer to share their opinion on architectural and/or advanced topics like large project structure, reusability, coding standards, etc. Until now, they have produce a good set of documents that goes beyond what you would find in the developer guides. For those who are familiar with the technology, those readings are very interesting and you can contribute your knowledge and experience with the group if you’d like.
