Current Courses
 
  1. WA1470 Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for Managers
    Service oriented Architecture (SOA) shows demonstrable signs of simplifying software integration. It can reduce the cost of integration significantly. The approach is not new but may be a paradigm shift for many organizations. This is analogous to e-Business, which is essentially client-server computing, but ushered many new possibilities. This no-nonsense course is designed for the IT managers. The goal is to explain in clearly understandable terms what SOA is and how it can aid application integration. The course proceeds to cover typical development lifecycle and various roles people play in the process. The course will help the managers build a vision for future development activities.
  2. WA1443 Fundamentals of WebSphere Business Modeler
    The objective is to learn to model business processes, understand and define the various roles and responsibilities in business processes, perform analysis and generate reports using WebSphere Business Modeler.
  3. WA1426 WebSphere Business Modeler for Business Process Management
    This course introduces the participants to Business Modeling. The course also introduces the fundamentals of Service Oriented Analysis and Design (SOAD). The course uses IBM WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced edition as the modeling tool. A well-constructed business process model can help modelers identify inefficiencies and problems with business models earlier in the cycle and eliminate those hidden inefficiencies leading to savings in costs and improving performance.
  4. WA1405 Introduction to SOA
    This course provides an introduction to the concepts of Service Oriented Architecture. This course discusses some of the key issues facing many organizations, especially dealing with integration among disparate systems. Participants will learn how SOA addresses these issues and it’s many other benefits. The course also discusses related technologies such as Enterprise Service Bus and it’s relationship with SOA. The participants then look at the various SOA patterns that can be used as a basis for developing SOA applications. Participants also go through case studies to better visualize the role of SOA.
  5. WA1395 Testing SOA Applications
    This one-day seminar describes the SOA testing methodology and the fundamentals of SOA testing. We also introduce the students to the SOA testing tools currently available in the marketplace.
  6. WA1369 Service Oriented Analysis and Design (SOAD)
    In this one-day seminar, we will explore how to design and build a SOA based solution. We explain how SOAD extends Object Oriented Analysis and Design. The approaches unique to SOAD will be explained in details.
  7. WA1362 Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Immersion Bootcamp
    The chief goal of this class is to teach how to build a SOA application from ground up. It covers the full lifecycle of a SOA project - requirements gathering, design, implementation and testing. If you are getting started with SOA development, this class offers a wonderful opportunity for your development team to get a concrete idea for how a SOA application is built. The course consists of both pen and paper labs and hands-on labs using IBM WebSphere Integration Developer V6.0 to build, test and run SOA applications.
  8. WA1075 XML and Web Services
    This one-day seminar introduces the students to the fundamental technologies that enable their shift to SOA. We explore the XML data format, the communication protocol, the definition of a service and the concept of a service registry.
 

SOA courses to be released in
Dec 2006 and in Q1 2007


 
  1. WA1520 Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for z/OS (coming soon)
    This course is designed for IT managers, planners and architects. The course presents an overview of SOA, describes the SOA reference architecture, and demonstrates how the existing and new z/OS applications can support the SOA framework. It highlights the new development tools and z/OS facilities for SOA-enabling z/OS applications and data access. It also provides several integration scenarios for access to CICS, IMS and DB2 applications and data.
  2. WA1516 Business Process Modeling (coming soon)
    Soon This course introduces the participants to the theoretical aspects of process modeling. This course explores the forces driving the need for modeling business processes, the modeling effort as a project, and the critical success factors for making the effort successful. The course provides a way to document, understand, analyze and improve business processes. This course does not use any specific tool although it will compliment training for a tool that can assist with business process modeling.
  3. WA1508 Implementing SOA Governance (coming soon)
    IT governance provides a thorough management process for IT activities. All aspects of IT, starting from strategy to execution, are closely managed and continuously improved. SOA adds new challenges and hence IT governance processes need to be extended. This course builds a foundation by covering IT governance. Many organizations may not have IT governance put in place. This foundation will be especially beneficial to them. The course builds on this foundation by covering SOA governance. The course offers practical knowledge of how to actually implement IT and SOA governance in an organization. We have designed the course in such a way that the students will be able to get started with instituting a governance practice from scratch.
  4. WA1486 WebSphere Process Server Programming Using WebSphere Integration Developer (coming soon)
    This course teaches the participants on how to build integration solutions using IBM WebSphere Integration Developer (WID) and IBM WebSphere Process Server. This class starts with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) basics and proceeds to using the tools to build SOA applications. Participants will learn about the Service Component Architecture (SCA) programming model and the Service Data Objects (SDO) data model. The role of adapters when integrating disparate back ends is discussed and participants learn about the WID tooling in detail.
  5. WA1471 Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for Architects (coming soon)
    Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) shows demonstrable signs of simplifying software integration. It can reduce the cost of integration significantly. Organizations are beginning to architect new integration solutions following the SOA approach. This course delves deep into various aspects of SOA. It starts with the Service Oriented Analysis and Design. This will help the architects understand how requirements are captured, business processes are modeled and services are identified. It describes the principles of service orientation. The principles will act like a checklist against which you can validate your own design.
