Introduction

Web-based publishing of information is seen as the best way in which to disseminate dynamic information and content, whether this is to be sent publicly over the worldwide web or over a secure private network to authenticated users. A portal to this content is the primary means by which this information is deployed and accessed. Furthermore, portals are seen as a means to fuse together dissimilar environments, systems and applications into a single cohesive user interface.
This course contains an exhaustive step-by-step explanation of the features and capabilities for web-based publishing and application interface using the Oracle Portal product, which is built upon the Oracle10g Application Server platform.
