SOA Training

From time to time a new acronym appears in the IT press, this time it was SOA. My initial thoughts were "What does Service Oriented Architecture actually mean and how will it fit in with our ALM Training message.

The first place I looked was Wikipedia - the"font of all knowledge". Fourteen pages of information later, my questions were answered.

The second thing I needed to do was to decide which courses our clients would be interested in attending and who would benefit. Sometimes it can prove difficult to cater for all roles.

I have identified the groups as follows:

• IT Managers
• Architects
• Analysts
• Designers
• Software Engineers

Now the idea is to ensure that our SOA training offering matches their specific areas of interest. So far we have put together, with the help of a SOA Evangelist, the following courses:

• SOA Services Oriented Software Design - target audience: IT Managers, Architects, Analysts and Designers.
• SOA an Introduction - target audience: Architects, IT Managers and Software Engineers
• SOA for Managers - target audience: IT Managers

We are always looking at ways to enhance our training message, so watch this space for future SOA courses.
