Curriculum: Service Oriented Technologies Introduction Service Oriented Architecture - SOA - is the modern reincarnation of patterns that have been recognized from the emergence of the very first computer-backed business systems, and then sometimes even before. These pattern encourage splitting business processes into separate units called services, that are loosely coupled and do not come into contact with each other. While SOA is simply an architectural style that is not bound to any specific technology, nowadays one of the main implementation models for a SOA are Web Services. Web Services use a set of standard protocols and specifications, like SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and WSDL (Web Service Description Language) for describing and accessing the service. The Info2people SOA curriculum explores the world of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web Services as a possible underlying implementation technology. It covers both the basics - what SOAs are, what benefits they bring to the enterprises, to the developers, to the architects, how they compare with former methodologies and architectures - and the advanced technology details, using a practical, hands-on approach to the subject.

SOA Fundamentals (1 day) Positioning The SOA Fundamentals course provides a practical overview over the Service Orientation, SOA fundamentals and architectures. As such, it provides a representative, platform-independent introduction to the Service Oriented Architectures. Driven by the appearance of XML and Web Services, and further influenced by distributed computing and business process modeling, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has evolved to represent the IT industry's principal computing platform. All major software producers and vendors are promoting support for SOA; some even through direct involvement in the development of open standards. As a result, every major development platform now officially supports the creation of service-oriented solutions. SOA establishes a powerful fundament for building solutions, unifying business and technology domains of an enterprise, insuring integration of platforms and increasing the agility at which an organization operates by streamlining the automation solution creation process. However, it brings with it a multitude of new technology, concepts, and requirements.

Audience The learning material is targeted towards business analysts, web and enterprise developers, who desire to benefit of the emerging trend of service orientation, service design and planning. The course is also suitable for software managers who need to be conversant in key Service-Oriented (SO) concepts to better work with team members and lead SO related projects.

Second Generation Web Services: WS-* (1 day) Positioning Second Generation Web Services: WS-* is an advanced workshop course. The training represents the new wave of Web Services standards and the corresponding Java technologies. The idiom "WS-*" has become a generally used abbreviation that refers to the second-generation Web services specifications. WS-* are extensions to the fundamental Web services framework established by first-generation standards represented by WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI. The term "WS-*" became popular because the majority of titles given to second-generation Web services specifications have been prefixed with "WS-". This module provides you with a practical overview of the WS-* technologies and the way they overcome the drawbacks of the first generation Web Services.

Audience The module is targeted towards experienced (2+ years) Enterprise Java developers, who desire to benefit of the emerging trend of service orientation, web services and related technologies. A prerequisite to this training is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Web Services Fundamentalsâ&#x20AC;? training provided by Info2people.

Curriculum: Web 2.0 and Web Technologies Introduction Web 2.0 is perceived as the new generation of World Wide Web (WWW) that uses the Internet as a platform. Web 2.0 is NOT a new version of WWW but rather refers to the concept as how the WWW can be leveraged to meet the rising demands of individual users and Enterprises. Web 2.0 focuses on enabling interaction with content through collaboration rather than only serving content. In Web 2.0 all users can collaborate and interact with the content rather than simply accessing it. RIAs are beginning to transform the Web as we know it, changing it from a collection of hyperlinked pages filled with data into a collection of interactive, graphically rich applications, buzzing with social interaction and collaboration and interconnected among them, each drawing data from the others. Rich Internet Applications (RIA) and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) have become the buzzwords of the moment. RIA fits so well as a complement to the SOA world that some authors have went so far as to say that SOA + RIA + OSS (Open Source Software) = Web 2.0. The Info2people Web 2.0 curriculum will help to understand and appreciate the world of Web 2.0, practice with some RIA technologies and explore them in bigger domain of Enterprise business modeling with SOA technologies.
