Linthicum Group, LLC, Announces “SOA Practitioner’s Crash Course”…3 Days to SOA Excellence.

 

 

Reston Va., January 2, 2007, David Linthicum, an internationally known application integration and service oriented architecture (SOA) announced this week the availability of “SOA Practitioner’s Crash Course,” a 3 day custom designed fast-past seminar/workshop geared toward getting a corporate or government SOA team up-and-running in just 3 days!

 

“While many may understand the notion of SOA, but very few have any idea how to get there. “states David Linthicum, CEO of The Linthicum Group, LLC, and author of this course. “Truth-be-told, there is no hard and fast rule as to how one builds an SOA in their organization. However, some common patterns are emerging which provide a step-by-step guide toward implementing an SOA, either in the fast track (revolutionary) or the slow track (evolutionary)—as long as you’re on the right track.”

 

The purpose of this seminar/workshop is to provide a step-by-step guide for those who design and build SOAs, designed for the particular organization’s needs. This seminar will walk the perspective SOA team through all of the logical steps, including defining key artifacts and providing examples of those artifacts (e.g., design documents).  Moreover, we’ll look at the vast array of SOA technology currently on the market, and

learn how to make sense of it beyond the hype, selecting the right technology the first time. In essence, this seminar serves as a meta-methodology of sorts, taking the mystery and risk out of moving an organization to SOA.
