Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Introduction
PDF Add to WishList
Support the modern applications that your organization relies on by gaining the skills to design, build, and maintain a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). In this SOA training course, you learn how to create an effective, cloud-ready SOA by modeling, designing, and providing the specifications for services that merge the business and technical requirements of your organization. This course will advance you through introductory concepts to intermediate level best practices.
You Will Learn How To
- Design and architect a modern SOA
- Apply SOA design patterns to improve flexibility and maintainability
- Model service operations and messages from business use cases
- Facilitate integration and empower consumers
Important Course Information
Pre-course Exercise:
- You will be asked to do about 2 hours of pre-course homework and present it in class.
Recommended Experience:
- Some involvement creating business applications
Who would benefit most from this training:
- This course is for any one involved in designing service oriented architectures: business analysts, project leads, system architects, and developers.
- In this course we determine what services an organization requires and how those services should be designed and organized to support the needs of the organization and the service’s consumers. The course does not cover the business logic that would be developed to implement the services (instead see, course 577 (Java) or 2601 (.NET)).
About the software used:
- While REST-based applications are emphasized, the role for WSDL/SOAP services and queue-based services are also discussed. Additionally, Enterprise Architect, Professional Edition is used for SoaML modeling.
