Essential Node.js

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description

This course introduces Node.js to the experienced developer who wants more control, higher performance, effective security, and cross-platform support. You will learn how Node.js is built from a small but powerful core and how these low-level constructs can be used together to build complete, modern Web applications. You will learn how to use Express and Passport frameworks to build secure Web servers. Learn multiple ways of structuring large code bases and automating the development and operations tasks so that maintenance and deployments are as repeatable and consistent as possible.

This course uses MongoDB, Mongoose ODM(Object Document Mapper), and Mocha unit testing framework.

Note: You are required to bring your own laptop.

Mastering Spring 4.2 and the Enterprise

In this course, you will learn how to use Spring in conjunction with the enterprise resources and technologies available in today’s systems and architectures. The course covers a wide spectrum of topics, so you should have a basic understanding of those technologies and resources prior to taking this class.

The Spring framework is an application framework that provides a lightweight container that supports the creation of simple-to-complex components in a non-invasive fashion. Spring’s flexibility and transparency is congruent and supportive of incremental development and testing. The framework’s structure supports the layering of functionality such as persistence, transactions, view-oriented frameworks, and enterprise systems and capabilities. Spring’s aspect-oriented programming (AOP) framework enables developers to declaratively apply common features and capabilities across data types in a transparent fashion.

As an enabler for the integration of Java applications and enterprise resources, the Spring framework represents a significant step forward. If you want to deliver an enterprise application within the Spring framework, you’ll find this course essential.

Note that our Spring training covers the entire spectrum and is highly modularized. As such, we can customize courses to your specific needs.

Understanding SOA – A Technical Overview

In this course, you will learn the impact of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), what is different about SOA, and the overall process of adoption and implementation. You will focus on what separates an ad hoc set of web services (NOT SOA) from a managed, vibrant, reusable catalog of enterprise services (definitely SOA). You will cover the entire spectrum from the promise of cloud computing to the grit of XML content. You will get a clear picture of how a service orientation can fundamentally change the dynamics of how software is developed and ‘lives’ within an enterprise.

You will cover practical issues for enterprise applications relative to SOA and gain the knowledge and foresight to lead and participate in the implementation of a realistic SOA-based business application project. You will also examine advanced topics like Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), SOAP, Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and web services.

Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3

In this course, you will be introduced to HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript and gain basic HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript programming skills. This course is an entry point into both the web application and Windows Store apps training paths. You will focus on using HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript to implement programming logic, define and use variables, perform looping and branching, develop user interfaces, capture and validate user input, store data, and create well-structured applications.

This course uses Visual Studio 2012 running on Windows 8.

Mastering R for Data Scientists

R is a functional programming environment for business analysts and data scientists. It’s a language that many non-programmers can easily work with, naturally extending a skill set that is common to high-end Excel users. It’s the perfect tool for when the analyst has a statistical, numerical, or probabilities-based problem based on real data and they’ve pushed Excel past its limits.

In this course, you will explore common scenarios that are encountered in analysis, and present practical solutions to those challenges. Throughout the course, special attention is paid to data science theory including AI grouping theory. A discussion of using R with AI libraries like Madlib is also included.
