29. REVERSE
ENGINEERING
In Liferay reverse engineering has helped a lot to extend its some
feature.
With the help of reverse engineering we can do some out of the
box features.
We can personalised many things according to our use.
30. WHAT I HAD
LEARNED &
EXPERIENCED
Learned about whole Liferay functionalities.
Learned how we can extend functionalities by adding or installing Apps
like Social Office and Social Networking.
Learned to create portlets.
Learned to authenticate users through Facebook.
Reverse engineered the Liferay core files to know the logic part of every
file and portlets so that functionalities can be enhanced or extend.
Found the file portal_normal.vm file which is the backbone of Liferay.
Learned about Bizclout concepts like how the business between
organizations are handled through UI.
31. SOFTSKILLS
LEARNED
AND
EXPERIENCED
To work remotely for a company and to know about the working
environment.
It will help in future if we had to do any overseas calls from the company or
work with any overseas company it has helped a lot to know how to do it.
Reverse Engineering.
Learned many things about reverse engineering because digging into the
Liferay core files had lead me to new level where approximately I had
reverse engineered the Liferay tool.
Learned how to manage work and distribute the work in a team.
Team Work.
32. SUMMARY
Learned about Bizclout concept and how different organization
collaborate.
Learned about Liferay and its functionality we can use to achieve Bizclout
concept.
Learned about Social Office and Social Networking application.
Learned about creating portlets.
Then learned how reverse engineering helps to extend some functionality
we can use in Liferay.
Experiencing such functionalities and using such functionality’s can
reduce manual coding and provides such ease to user so that a person
with no coding skill can also develop a huge application.
So I think Liferay is a good tool to use for such functionality’s.
