PeopleCode is integrated into every aspect of PeopleSoft applications. This five-day course gives participants the essential tools to work with object-oriented PeopleCode. Participants actively build programming skills in a PeopleSoft environment. The tools and skills learned in this course ground the participants in the structure of PeopleCode and prepare them to move on to more advanced applications. Learn To: * Write, edit, and debug PeopleCode programs. * Integrate PeopleCode with the component processor event flow. * Use PeopleCode to validate data and control program flow. * Manipulate data in the component buffer and in SQL tables. * Program with object-oriented PeopleCode. * Create and manage application packages.
