IFS Developer Studio is a complete Java development environment using an IFS developed plug-in that provides extensive modeling capabilities. The basis for IFS Developer Studio is the NetBeans IDE. For general information about development in NetBeans please refer to the online help in IFS Developer Studio. This chapter instead focus on the IFS specific functionality added to turn NetBeans into IFS Developer Studio.
Understanding the concepts behind the model is vital in order to develop applications for the IFS Applications Service Layer. Please read all about the concepts here. Server Packages
Before you start modeling it is also important to know about the Services Layer Naming Conventions and Naming Standards.
Once you are familiar with the concepts and the naming conventions you can read more about the technical side of modeling here. Working with modeling
IFS have always made extensive use of code generation to improve user productivity and code quality.

In order to understand how to take the generated code and build your application you should make sure that you know how to work with projects in IFS Developer Studio.

The framework used when building Service tier business logic and API's is called IFS Java Server Framework. A good understanding of the Java Server Framework is needed by all developers who will work with BizAPI's or other java server development. The information about the record model is also applicable to java clients.
