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

 
Course: 424     Type: RealityPlus     Duration: 3 Days

Quick Enroll    

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 visualization and service orchestration
  • Apply proven SOA standards to achieve platform interoperability and integration of legacy systems
  • Ensure governance of SOA reliability, performance and security throughout the enterprise

Course Benefits
Modern software development 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 organization. You also apply SOA methodologies, standards, technologies, languages and tools.

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.

In this course, you perform a series of simulations and hands-on exercises, including:
  • Manually performing the steps of a business process to analyze for automation
  • Investigating requirements and identifying service opportunities
  • Validating XML documents using a schema
  • Publishing SOA interfaces with WSDL documents
  • Generating BPEL/XAML scripts to realize business logic
  • Implementing Web services using Java EE and .NET
  • Developing loosely coupled service requesters
