Optimizing Solaris Administration with DTrace (EXL-2211)

Mike Ernest Overview: This four-day course explores the DTrace facility. The pace and complexity of information is intended for system administrators who consider themselves advanced or expert in Unix operating systems, in particular the Solaris operating system. The course first demonstrates the tasks and analytic power that DTrace provides. Students learn the structure of the DTrace facility, apply well-known DTrace providers and probes, and familiarize themselves with Solaris utilities that complement DTrace. Students use DTrace to examine system performance on several levels, including device driver loading, kernel operations and process behavior. Students will review changes Java Virtual Machine instrumentation over the last few releases, and investigate program code that runs through process-based interpreters such as JavaScript. Exercises in analysis and trouble-shooting are incorporated throughout. After a technical review of DTrace architecture, students learn how to account for DTrace overhead, size its capacity on a system, and contain the costs of probe effect. Duration: 4 Days Price: $3,500 Dates & Locations: New York City, NY - January 26 - 29

Optimizing and Developing Applications with DTrace (EXL-2210)

Mike Ernest Overview: This four-day course provides a developer-oriented view into the Solaris DTrace facility. The pace and complexity is aimed at developers with a working knowledge of C/C++ and Java, as well as some familiarity with Web 2.0 technologies. The course first reviews DTrace capabilities, focussing on the interests of application developers. After a review of the D language, students learn to observe, profile and instrument programs in C/C++ and Java, and observe programs using JavaScript, PHP and Ruby. Students also learn to analyze transient failures in code with speculative tracing. After a review of DTrace's implementation on Solaris, students also learn how to compile DTrace code, document its stability, and write translators to separate private implementation details of a program from the DTrace consumer view.

Building Robust Integration Tiers with Hibernate (EXL-1100)

Moises Lejter Overview: This Expert-lead course will teach how to use Hibernate as a persistence framework for building the ORM layer of a Java technology-based object-oriented application. It covers the deep dive principles of object-relational mappings and their implementation in Hibernate, one of the more popular ORM frameworks in the marketplace. Once they complete the course, students will be able to build Java technology applications that require the management of persistent information, leveraging Hibernate to provide the bridge between the object-oriented representation used at application-level and the relational representation required by many target relational databases. Oracle and MySQL uses cases are covered. Duration: 3 Days Price: $3,000 Dates & Locations: Boston, MA - November 30 - December 2 Learn more and purchase >>

Architecting and Designing Robust Enterprise Applications Using Java EE and SOA and End-to-End Tuning (EXL-2050)

Students will gain an understanding of how Service-Oriented-Architectures (SOA), implemented in a wide range of technologies (including REST, RPC, RMI, DCOM, CORBA and Web Services), help businesses respond more quickly and cost-effectively to changing market conditions. Students will also gain an understanding of Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) (based on Java Business Integration (JBI) specification) which helps automate, manage, and optimize business processes and workflows across systems (i.e. Solaris, SAP, Siebel, Oracle, Microsoft systems), and partners. Students will understand how to performance-tune a Java technology-based application with low-latency response time requirements by using Java SE and Java EE technologies for a given enterprise application. Students will gain an understanding of enterprise profiles including the advanced features, such as in-memory replication, high availability database (HADB), load balancing, monitoring and logging, clustering, and security.

Web 2.0 Development Using Advanced JavaServer Faces with Ajax and Dojo (EXL-1150)

Bryan Basham Overview: Web application development is challenging for many reasons: limitations of the HTTP protocol, complexity of Web technologies (XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript), and the enormous choices of non-standard server-side Java/Web frameworks. This course presents advanced features of two technologies that allow you to code at a higher level of abstraction. JavaServer Faces (JSF) is an third-generation Java Web technology that provides a component-based GUI framework which is highly extensible. One advantage of this framework is the ability to use advanced component libraries, many of which are open source. Next you will be introduced to the Dojo JavaScript framework. This library provides low-level APIs to facilitate cross-browser compatibility as well as a robust GUI widget set. Duration: 3 Days Price: $3,000 Dates & Locations: Call for availability
