Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for Architects

This five day course delves deep into various architectural aspects of SOA. It starts with the Service Oriented Analysis and Design (SOAD). This will help the architects understand how requirements are captured, business processes are modeled and services are identified. The course moves on to explore information management, transaction handling, messaging architecture, testing services, and finally securing them.
 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.
