Pre-requisites
There are no formal pre-requesites, in that you are welcome to come to this seminar as you are and if you don't want to bring a computer, you don't have to. However, the seminar will be much more interesting and engaging if you bring a computer on which to do the exercises – a Mac or PC laptop running Mac OS X, a Linux variant with which you are comfortable, or Microsoft Windows XP should all be fine.
Your computer needs to be capable of running Java and it would be much better if it already has Java installed when you come to the seminar. You can achieve a good baseline by downloading and installing the uPortal 3.0.0 GA Quickstart release prior to the seminar. Alternatively, if you download and install Tomcat 5.5.* and have it running and rendering, you're in good shape as this means Java is successfully installed.
Seminar materials will be available on CD-R and on USB memory stick, which will be passed around the room for installation during the introductory portion of the seminar. Materials may also be available for download from this page. Your computer needs to either accept CD-Rs or accept USB storage to load the seminar materials.
