Why Attend Enterprise Integration with Spring 3 Course?

Are you a Spring Developer?

There are a lot of Spring developers out there, many have learned by experimenting, reading documentation and maybe code dives into an existing application or two.

So, now you can put Spring Developer on your resume right? Hold on there Tex… When you grow up, do you wanna be an Application Architect? Are you that confident in claiming to be a Spring Application Architect? Are you wise in the ways of the EIPs? What about scalable offline processing? Can I architect a new system where the external system configuration does NOT impact my actual service code? Do my manager(s) love to throw SOA around like it’s the coolest new thing ever to come to IT? Are you thinking “OMG… I answered ‘yes’ to some of these questions”?

So, why not take a vaca… um… 4 day training class that can show me the tools that Spring, Spring Integration and Spring Batch provide? You want to develop flexible, scalable applications right?

IMHO… the Enterprise Integration with Spring course is not only extremely valuable to any Spring developer it should be REQUIRED for anyone architecting Spring applications.

What is cool in the EIwS course?

• Synchronous & Asynchronous Processing
• Messaging with Enterprise Integration Patterns
• Messaging with JMS
• Exposing Services with RMI, HTTP
• Web Services with SOAP, REST and WS Security – and why REST is cool!
• Spring Local and Distributed Transaction Management – JTA/XA
• Service Integration with SMTP (email), File, JMS, FTP, JDBC, TCP/UDP, XMPP, etc.
• Polling and Triggering
• Tasks and Scheduling of Processes
• Message Filtering, Routing, Transformation, Splitting, Aggregating, Bridging and Chaining
• Creating Batch processes for inline or offline execution
• Monitoring Batch process exceptions
• Unit and Mock testing of application layers
• Modifying Integration processes without recompiling… AWESOME Right?

Now you might be asking “WOW… all that in 4 days?”
I will say “Yep!”… not that you will learn every finite detail about each Spring feature but you will be aware of which tools to choose from and why.
