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.

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.
