Hi,
I have designed a database, further coded everything in plsql for day to day activities, so up till now everything worked fine but all these operations are done using sql developer(sql sheet), now I am looking to pass this to a potential customer but the point is hes not tech savvy but would require a front end, Now I have been a total back-end resource myself (database design/plsql/sql/sql tuning/DBA) and now reluctantly I am starting to learn some front end tool, I would request you to help me with some heads up and it would be great if you could answer my questions (if I am not in the right forum apologies, please point me to the right one), so here are my questions:
1) Couple of years ago I was a part of a project which had oracle as backend and it had .NET as a front end, Now I am wary of .NET, I would rather use something that is more tightly integrated with oracle and I guess I can use JAVA for front end, right? so great if you could point me to the right place(any resource that can give me a quick start) or if you could tell me what it is , is it known as java forms?
2) what all do I need for the front end development? I have jdk and jre installed in my system? what am I suppose to download? I have worked in eclipse some front end tool for java development 1 decade ago, but I am totally out of touch.
3) what do I need to study to become proficient in front end development?, I am sure it has to do something with java with something and not core java.
4) Any other things I should know before going into front end development, please let me know.
Regards
Rahul
