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

Course: 424   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 3 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Model, design and implement Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
  • Create agile, reusable SOA
  • Automate business processes by mapping to the architectural model
  • Orchestrate services and execute processes with the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL)
  • Achieve interoperability within SOA using proven standards and best practices
  • Implement loosely coupled services using WSDL-first techniques

Course Benefits
Modern software development paradigms include highly distributed applications implemented in Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs). Rather than discrete, disparate programs, SOA combines these programs into interoperable systems that map directly to business processes. In this course, you gain a foundation in the concepts, modelling, design and implementation of modern SOA. You gain the knowledge to strategically develop SOA methodologies, technologies, languages and tools.

Who Should Attend
Analysts, strategists, software architects and anyone seeking a technical understanding of SOA. Programming experience is helpful, but not required.

Hands-on Training
Throughout this course, you perform a series of intensive hands-on exercises, including:
  • Deriving service candidates from a business process description
  • Defining a service schema
  • Publishing SOA interfaces with WSDL documents
  • Generating BPEL scripts to implement agile business logic
  • Designing Web services to provide core business functionality
  • Implementing Web services using Java EE and .NET
  • Developing loosely coupled service requesters
