Understand the basics of ZK Java Web Framework and build your first Web GUI

ZK is a Web Framework specifically designed for Java developers, allowing them to focus more on the business logic by shielding them from javascript and all the complexity of Ajax server-browser communication.

This course is designed for beginners of ZK. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to set up a ZK Web project and create simple GUIs.

This course will start off with a brief introduction followed by a demonstration of ZK’s live demo, an explanation of how to use ZK Fiddle and a guide to setting up and building a first login page.

The instructor believes that it will be more practical if the participant works along with him, in order to achieve a more solid comprehension and experience the simplicity himself. Therefore, the course primarily consists of hands-on practices, rather than an in-depth analysis of the concepts.

4. How to create and run your own zul sample in ZK Fiddle

5. How to create your first ZK project using Maven Archetype
