SOA for Architects BizTalk Edition Training

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a powerful and flexible solution architecture for systems integration, resource sharing, and enabling agility in the modern enterprise. SOA promotes an alignment between business and IT and allows disparate domains and information systems to collaborate together as part of a cohesive enterprise. Although SOA possesses a lot of potential for enterprises, there are plenty of things that could go [..]

Introduction Course Outline

Topics

The course covers the following key areas of SOA:

SOA Fundamentals
SOA Value Proposition
Services (EAI, WS and REST)
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
SOA Infrastructure and Tools
Service and business process design using SOAD
Governing SOA
Messaging architecture in SOA
Error Handling and Transaction Management
Adapters and Information Management
Securing Services
Testing Services
SOA Best practices

What you will learn

Students will get to actually apply various principles in hands on exercises. This will make the concepts come alive. Throughout the five day course, students will work through 18 real world labs in a hands-on SOA environment.

After taking the course, an architect will gain enough knowledge to begin devising a comprehensive architecture for a new SOA based solution.

Audience

Enterprise Architects, Solution Architects, Business Architects, Information Systems Architects, and Senior Developers.

Prerequisites

Previous experience with software architecture is recommended. Some knowledge of Web Services and Object Oriented Analysis and Design is recommended, but not required.

Duration

Five Days
