WA1594 Web 2.0 for Developers Training and Courseware

Web 2.0 holds tremendous potential for enterprises of all shapes and sizes.  The network has evolved from being a mere conduit for exchanging files, into a full-fledged ecosystem that is capable of facilitating collaboration and innovation.   

This five-day bootcamp equips application designers, architects, and developers to design and implement Web 2.0 solutions incorporating progressive Internet technologies such as wikis, blogs, data feeds, podcasting, instant messaging, and social networking into the enterprise intranet (“Enterprise 2.0”).  Broadcasting, collaboration and social networking technologies will be explored along with the subject of Rich Internet Applications (RIA).  Attention will also be given to the trend around information “mash-ups”, leveraging data feeds through RSS/ATOM, and interacting with a service oriented enterprise through SOAP and/or REST.  Finally, attention will be given to best practices regarding Web 2.0 system design.
