3.2. Designing the Product Registration portlet

The lead developer on the team decided that the product registration application would be a good starting point for the development team to get their feet wet with Liferay. Providing this application early in the development phase of the project will also help the content-management team as they determine where on the site the application will be placed. Let’s look at the design of this portlet so you can determine your first implementation steps.
