Developing and Deploying Applications on OpenShift

Audience and prerequisites

This course is designed for application developers (not necessarily Java EE developers) interested in creating OpenShift applications with automated unit/acceptance tests and deploying those applications using continuous integration (CI) to an OpenShift instance.

Prerequisites for this course

Red Hat recommends these prerequisites:

• Java EE programming skills are helpful—we try to keep the programming tasks simple, like changing the color of an item on an HTML page—so general HTML skills common to many programming environments will suffice
• Experience as a successful developer in one of the environments supported by Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform—either Python, Ruby, Java EE, Node.js
• Have taken Introduction to Containers, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift (DO180) or have equivalent experience
