Vendor-independent training for architects looking at Cloud Computing
Baltimore, MD, August 24, 2010 — ZapThink today announces the release of version 8.0 of its popular Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) Boot Camp. This new version features extensive new and updated content, expanding beyond the core Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) focus of the course, to include Cloud Computing.
“Most of the information available today on Cloud Computing is little more than vendor hype,” said Jason Bloomberg , course developer and trainer, and Managing Partner with ZapThink, LLC. “The LZA Boot Camp focuses on the knowledge and skills architects and other professionals must have to properly plan for and implement Cloud-based solutions, free from vendor spin.”
In this four-day SOA training course, attendees will get hands-on experience and expertise in how to implement the latest SOA and Cloud Computing best practices and methods. Learn about Cloud Governance, Service modeling, Service domains, SOA infrastructure planning, SOA Quality, Governance, and Management, developing a SOA Roadmap, SOA ROI and Business Planning, SOA Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and metrics, SOA security and performance optimization, SOA policy management, Composite Services and Business Process, Service-Oriented Business Applications (SOBAs), and Mashups. Hear about notable SOA case studies and get hands-on guidance in making SOA work. And, once you complete this course you will become a credentialed Licensed ZapThink Architect.
The ZapThink LZA SOA training and certification program (http://www.zapthink.com/soa-training-certification/) offers the following benefits:
An annual credential that allows ZapThink to endorse individual architects as having specific SOA skills
Posting onto an LZA Directory that enables companies to research and locate architects to assist with their SOA-specific needs
Opportunity to contribute to ZapThink’s online research and content
The LZA SOA Training & certification Boot Camp is held in cities around the world, including Denver, London, Chicago, Washington DC, San Diego, Melbourne and Sydney Australia, Dubai, Amsterdam, Dallas, Atlanta, Oslo, and Toronto. For more information and to register, see http://www.zapthink.com/soa-training-certification/. Early bird discounts are available for most sessions for a limited time.
