Integrating SIP Communications

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description

In this course, you will learn about Session Initiation Protocols (SIPs) and important protocols related to SIP implementations through a process of lecture and hands-on training. Gain insights into what SIP is, how it works, and get a practical guide on how to use it. The lessons in this course are clear, very technical, and always practical. Since more than half are hands-on, you can investigate and reinforce each lesson. In this course, youï¿½ll examine how SIP interoperates into the current telecommunications network by going beyond the basics of the protocol and getting a big picture understanding of how it all fits together.

Programmatic Development using Apex and Visualforce (DEV-450)

Are you a programmer who wants to understand how to customize applications programmatically on the Force.com platform? In this course, you will learn the core of the Apex programming language and Visualforce markup in order to customize your Force.com applications. You will get hands-on experience building data objects (sObjects) and programmatically retrieving, manipulating, and storing the data associated with those objects. You will write custom logic using Apex triggers and classes, and test that logic using the built-in testing framework. You will explore how Apex code interacts with declarative customizations on the platform, and the nuances of working on a multi-tenant platform. Youï¿½ll then examine common techniques for designing solutions in Apex. These activities will culminate in an exercise building a complex trigger that takes advantage of the declarative aspects of the platform. You will get hands-on experience writing Visualforce pages to customize your user interface and Visualforce controllers (in Apex) to modify the controller behavior behind the interface. Youï¿½ll also explore design techniques and the built-in testing framework around Visualforce.

Leading Continuous Change

There is no shortage of research suggesting the majority of change initiatives fail. Factors such as the lack of a clear vision, misalignment of leaders, inadequate communication, and failure to hold people accountable all negatively impact the results of organizational change initiatives.ï¿½

The challenge is that there is no sign of the pace and amount of change slowing. In todayï¿½s digitally disrupted world, continuous change is the new normal. To be successful, you must be able to prioritize and manage multiple change initiatives, avoid change fatigue, and ensure individuals and teams remain committed and connected to the direction of the organization.

HDI Structured Problem Solving for the Support Professional

Often, analysts use an ad hoc approach to problem solving, guided by their instincts and past experience. But such an approach is inconsistent and often wastes time and resources. Structured problem solving (SPS) provides a systematic approach. It includes defining, describing, establishing possible causes, testing the most probable cause, and verifying the true cause. When integrated into the incident management process, analysts and technicians can use proper questioning skills, critical and creative thinking skills, knowledge capturing skills, and diagnostic skills to solve incidents and problems efficiently and accurately.

This dynamic course focuses on the value of a structured, consistent problem solving process. You will learn to harness your natural problem solving skills and successfully apply them during applicable and energizing activities. You will participate in a continuous workshop scenario intended to engage and embed each learning concept.
