Enterprise Integration with Spring Training Course

Overview

Enterprise Integration with Spring is a 4 day workshop created by the project leads on some of the most important Spring portfolio projects - covering today's most important topics and technologies related to enterprise application integration. This hands-on training teaches how to apply Spring to solve integration problems that face server-side developers.

As a world-class SpringSource University workshop, Enterprise Integration with Spring is hands-on, comprehensive, and up-to-date with the latest in technology and industry best practices. In this course, you will work with and integrate realistic enterprise applications. You will be able to immediately apply the technology to solve real-world integration problems.

This course is a great next course for "Core Spring" alumni. It is also suitable as a first course for enterprise Java developers who are familiar with Spring basics and seek comprehensive coverage of Spring for systems integration development.

Completion of the training entitles the students to write the prestigious "SpringSource certified Enterprise Integration Specialist" exam and the cost of examination voucher, worth Rs. 12,000, is waived off.
