Summary
This chapter presented an overview of the latest Java SDK 7, Java EE 6 technologies, and Oracle WebLogic 12c features. Most of them will be covered in this book. It also positions WebLogic Server 12c in the Cloud Application Foundation architecture, showing how co-related products such as Oracle Coherence can be integrated into a cohesive solution.
In the next chapter, we're going to set up the development environment with all the necessary components to create the application that will be used to demonstrate several features of WebLogic Server in the book.
