Dev2Dev TechDays: Half-day seminars at a city near you

The Dev2Dev TechDays half-day developer seminars take Dev2Dev on the road. Our focus this year is on providing a guide to building Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in Java. With the explosion of SOA, developers need to master both best-of-breed Java development and the ability to leverage new services-focused tools.

The seminars will demonstrate:

  • How a pre-integrated suite can quickly extend Java to SOA
  • How to use Java and SOA at the presentation, integration, business logic, and service bus levels
  • How to extend your Eclipse knowledge into new and updated BEA technologies
  • How to use multiple technologies together to achieve a result, not just point technologies

Come and meet us at a city near you by registering now!

Regards,
Jon Mountjoy
Editor, BEA Dev2Dev
