Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Training in Christchurch

In this instructor-led, live training in Christchurch, participants will learn how to connect various applications, data sources, and APIs by building a sample routing application using Mule.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Design, build, and manage connectivity between APIs, applications, and services.
• Manage interactions across legacy systems and custom applications.
• Integrate software as a service (SaaS) solutions with on-premises software.
• Utilise Mule's design and development tools to create, test, and execute Mule flows.
• Understand and support various messaging standards, including AMQP, JMS, and WMQ.
• Monitor, deploy, and configure applications using the Mule Management Console (MMC)

This course is designed for developers building web applications and aims to showcase the opportunities offered by the REST architectural pattern, enabling seamless communication between sites.

Our ED-SOA training focuses on designing and analysing an architecture framework that extends the SOA reference architecture. Services are employed as event generators, signalling a problem or emerging issue, an opportunity, a threshold breach, or a deviation.

This five-day course is designed to provide a clear understanding of the mechanics of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). It covers the technical design of SOA-based architectures and the development of service-oriented solutions to address business challenges.

Throughout this course, we provide an overview of SOA and SOA Governance. You will gain valuable insights into the benefits of incorporating service contracts into your development process.

This course is designed for Postgraduate (or equivalent) level students and will combine lectures with laboratory sessions, integrating both theory and practical application.

Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:

Knowledge and Understanding

• Grasp the core principles and business advantages of systems built around service-oriented architectures.
• Develop a comprehensive understanding of the key protocols and technologies underpinning web service standards, and how these components interoperate. Your knowledge will encompass both established elements of the standard and leading-edge, emerging developments in the field.
• Gain in-depth insight into the technologies that enable systems, built using widely adopted programming languages, to both consume and provide web services.

Intellectual Skills

• Identify scenarios where a service-oriented approach, particularly web services, is most suitable for specific business needs.
• Evaluate and determine the most effective design strategies for web service solutions.
• Build the capacity to independently acquire and understand emerging developments in the rapidly evolving web service standards in the future.

Practical Skills

• Work effectively with current, platform-neutral technologies associated with web services, including XML, SOAP, and WSDL.
• Develop and expose web services using a widely used programming language, and write client code in the same language to invoke those services.

Building complex enterprise applications is extremely challenging in an ever-evolving environment.

Changes in the integration between services or systems often trigger adjustments to the overall system design. This course explores how to design maintainable service and system architectures that are appropriately scaled and aligned with your organisation's goals, along with the practical infrastructure needed to support them.

The course addresses common challenges involved in building distributed application landscapes, ranging from integration issues and infrastructure considerations to modern approaches for managing complexity.

It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of various solutions (such as traditional SOA versus microservices architecture), discusses available tools (primarily open-source) that support development and maintenance, and more.

Course Format

The course is primarily discussion-based, with limited presentation segments.

In this instructor-led, live training in Christchurch, participants will learn how to use Talend Open Studio for ESB to create, connect, mediate, and manage services along with their interactions.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Integrate, enhance, and deliver ESB technologies as unified packages across various deployment environments.
• Understand and effectively utilise Talend Open Studio's most commonly used components.
• Integrate any application, database, API, or web service.
• Seamlessly connect heterogeneous systems and applications.
• Embed existing Java code libraries to extend project capabilities.
• Leverage community-driven components and code to expand project functionality.
• Rapidly integrate systems, applications, and data sources within a drag-and-drop Eclipse environment.
• Reduce development time and maintenance costs by generating optimised, reusable code.

This course is designed to help non-developers understand how to use, debug, and manage Web Services effectively.

Although SOA is not specific to BPM software, there are numerous natural synergies between BPM and SOA. Perhaps the most evident is the separation of business process management as an independent function, enabling processes to be designed independently of any single application and leveraged as shared business logic.
