Enterprise Solution Development

1 CreditsTerm 2

Description

With the emergence of new technologies and evolution of existing ones, organizations are changing the way they build enterprise solutions. Rather than build monolithic applications, the current emphasis is on building solutions by leveraging existing functionality exposed as services. This approach to composing solutions using services follows the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm, where applications are structured as a collection of loosely coupled services. In this course students will learn how to design and implement enterprise solutions using SOA using suitable tools. The course will cover topics such as service-oriented architecture (SOA), microservices architecture (MSA), web services, JSON/XML, cloud computing, and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB).
