This outline offers a framework to learn WebSphere Application Server. The actual time that it takes you to accomplish the learning tasks varies but with a lot of hard work, careful time management, focus, and the right prerequisite skill set, it surely is possible to gain a level of WebSphere Application Server knowledge and skills to be useful. Please let me know if you want to read more on each of the areas listed below.
- Determine your background and technical experience. You are better equipped if you have the following technical skills and knowledge
- UNIX operating system – you do not have to be a system administrator, but you need to be a skilful user of UNIX
- Shell scripting skills and other technical programming skills such as coding in Java or JSP
- General knowledge of JEE and Java
- Knowledge and skills of computer network
- Build Your Server – make the right choice of the computer to use and the operating system to install as well as the building of a computer server as a platform to use working through your learning process – Ubuntu and Windows may be realistic choices
- JEE and WebSphere Overview – you need an overview of the key areas of JEE specification and a high level introduction of WebSphere architecture
