Summary
CDF is the API to create dashboards and reports. By this point, you should understand the concepts behind the lifecycle of the dashboard and components. You should also know how to create a dashboard using the CDF API, and know the most part of the available methods, which are very important when creating advanced dashboards. We also covered a very important topic related to the use of parameters and listeners to create interaction among components.
Of course, you have a lot more to learn, and there are some more advanced concepts that we will cover in the following chapters.
In the next chapter, we will start covering CDE, and how to build a dashboard in an easier and faster way than by just using CDF.
