This is a course designed for the developers and architects that focuses on the security aspects of Web Service development. Through lecture and hands on exercise this class will teach you the security problems faced by a Web Service consumer or provider and how to solve them through open standards. Topics like authentication, authorization, encryption and non-repudiation are covered. Advanced topics like single sign on and trust based authentication are also covered.

When all you have is a hammer…everything looks like a nail.  Although many of the services in active use are SOAP or at least XML-based, an increasing number of services take a RESTful approach to data transmission.  Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture that differs from the more traditional Remote Procedure Call (RPC) style of data transmission, instead emphasizing the importance of defining and retrieving representations of resources.
This course explores the principles, practices, and application of REST as a software architecture methodology.  While much of the learning could be applied to any REST compatible implementation, emphasis will be placed upon the design and development of RESTful Web Services.

This hands-on course is aimed at architects and developers that want to learn how to design and develop RESTful services that fully comply with the full range of the RESTful design methodology.  Students will learn to define and work with such REST elements as resources, components, and connectors.  Furthermore, emphasis will be placed upon the definition of a REST interface and the management of multiple representations for a given resource.  All concepts are reinforced through detailed, hands-on labs in a vendor-neutral context.

Next generation web applications (i.e. “Web 2.0”) are quickly becoming the standard in web application development and interface design. Additionally, enterprises are increasingly interested in creating new Web-based services as well as harnessing data from existing ones. Some even go so far as to perform enterprise mashups of data to provide knowledge workers with new insight regarding their domain of interest.

Core skill sets for modern application development now must include AJAX, XML / XHMTL, and Web services in addition to the basic web and application development skills that have been needed for so years. Not only must these skills exist in isolation, but increasingly developers are pushed to be able to integrate and combine these skills in support of web portals and mashups.

This hands-on course is aimed at developers that want to expand their skills in AJAX and XML into the Web service and enterprise mashup arena. The course assumes knowledge and experience with basic AJAX-style programming and XML document management. A brief introduction to Web services is provided, followed by detailed coverage of consuming syndication feeds and Web services via AJAX. XML content styling and data management is also covered. All concepts are reinforced through detailed, hands-on labs in a vendor-neutral context.

Building a web service is easy.  Many products provide WS APIs right out of the box.   Those that do not can readily be service-enabled.  Virtually any modern homegrown application can be made to expose a service interface with the addition of a handful of annotations.  As a last resort, applications can be service-enabled by crafting a simple Web service wrapper.  Building services is easy.  Building good services is another story.
The course offers practical knowledge regarding how to effectively design and develop high performance Web services.  Students will be introduced to the theory, best practices, and strategies associated with Web service performance.
Concepts in this workshop are re-enforced through a combination of group discussion and hands-on exercises lab exercises.

This course provides a brief introduction to the concept of testing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based applications. SOA testing introduces new challenges.
