Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

Course: 424 Type: Hands-On Training Duration: 3 Days

You Will Learn How To

Implement and manage modern Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA)
Exploit SOA technology to reduce application development time and improve business agility
Leverage architecturally sound best practices to integrate services with contemporary object-oriented software
Automate complex business processes using workflow visualisation and service orchestration
Apply proven SOA standards to achieve platform interoperability and integration of legacy systems
Govern SOA reliability, performance and security throughout the enterprise

Course Benefits

Modern software combines discrete and disparate programs into interoperable, distributed applications implemented into Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). This reduces application development time and enhances business agility. In this course, you gain a foundational understanding of the concepts necessary to model, implement and strategically deploy an SOA within your organisation by applying methodologies, technologies and standards.

Who Should Attend

Analysts, strategists, software architects and anyone seeking a foundational understanding of SOA. A general understanding of software development and basic programming experience is required.

Hands-On Training

In this course, you perform a series of simulations and hands-on exercises, including:

Manually performing the steps of a business process to analyse for automation
Investigating requirements and identifying service opportunities
Validating XML documents using a schema
Publishing SOA interfaces with WSDL documents
Generating BPEL scripts to realise business logic
Implementing Web services using Java EE and .NET
Developing loosely coupled service requesters
