At a high-level the (Rational) Unified Process (RUP) provides a suitable approach for agile development when taken together with a number of complementary practices such as Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Scrum. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the industry standard notation for describing object-oriented systems. The notation includes a number of diagram types that can be applied to many development activities. RUP provides a common framework intended for UML-based development processes, both heavy and light. It outlines four basic phases in a lifecycle: inception, elaboration, construction and transition.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CSAGILEThis course provides a realistic, hands-on, comprehensive coverage of developing Web Services using ASP.NET and C#. Web Services are an evolving series of standards that enable programs on various computers to communicate with other programs on similar or disparate computers transparently over the Internet. This course teaches in detail the skills needed to program Web Services using ASP.NET. It also examines the fundamentals of SOAP and WSDL essential for creating interoperable Web services. The course concludes with an exploration of Web services security and the emerging Microsoft Global XML Web Services Architecture (GXA). http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=WSNETCSBoth Java Enterprise Edition and the .NET Framework are well-established platforms of choice for developing distributed, scalable enterprise applications. The challenges for many are then how do I choose, and how do I integrate? This overview day explains the two platforms and shows the comparisons between the two platforms throughout. The course explains the fundamentals of each platform, and provides guidance in how you can go about selecting the appropriate platform for application development. The course will also explain how .NET and Java EE applications can be integrated using a combination of Web service and in process communucation. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONJavaEENETThis interactive course presents the concepts and techniques necessary to effectively use system requirements, captured using use cases, to drive the development of a robust design model. In this hands-on workshop, participants learn to apply the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to fundamental object-oriented analysis and design concepts using the core UML diagrams. The course can run using a variety of modeling tools, including Rational Rose, Rational Modeler, Enterprise Architetect, Telelogic, Visio, or a paper and pen! The course follows the rational unified process as it takes you through the analysis and then the design phase of a software lifecycle. Additional optional modules cover data modelling and testing within the context of the process.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONRUPTest-driven development is one of the key enablers for agile development, that allows us to develop stable and refactorable code, whose intent is clear and whose design can evolve incrementally. TDD allows us to capture and validate the rules governing the behaviour of our code. And… it’s also fun! There’s a bunch of interesting tools available to assist us in developing robust tests, in identifying which tests to write, to help us compose tests and to automatically run our tests. The course is taught through presentation, demos, hands-on labs and directed discussions. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=HAYTDDThis training course will give students a thorough grounding in the techniques used to analyse, document and develop systems using the Unified Modelling Language (UML). The UML was created through the unification of several popular object-oriented development approaches and is recognised as the standard industry method for object-oriented system development.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=R1014Business Process Modelling and Analysis is a crucial component of Business Process Improvement (BPI) efforts. It is also a critical but often overlooked activity in new systems development. Transitioning to e-Business mandates rigorous business process modelling. In this seminar, you will learn the skills necessary to lead your team through a breakthrough business process redesign. The course provides comprehensive coverage of the core notations in Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN), and the course uses Enterprise Architect as the modelling tool, although alternative tools such as Visio or paper and pen can also be used.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=BUSPROC This course introduces the core concepts and principles involved when considering suitable architectures of software solutions. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=HOL1Java EE (formerly J2EE) is now a well-established platform of choice for deploying distributed, scalable enterprise applications. This training course provides an overview of the technologies commonly used with this platform, and how they can be applied to solve real world architectural problems. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONJ2EEOVERVIEWImplementing a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a much talked about approach to enterprise application architecture. This one day introductory course is designed to explain the what an SOA is, and is also describes the technologies involved in the implementation of a SOA. The course also discusses the concepts surrounding business processes, and some of the challenges surrounding how business processes can be tested. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=SOAOVService Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a much talked about approach to enterprise application architecture. This one day introductory course is designed to show how IBM tools can be used to implement a service oriented architecture. The course discusses how to expose services through Web service technology using Rational Application Developer, and also discusses how IBM Business Process Modeler can be used to create business level services. The training course is a hands on course, and you will gain opportunity to develop, interact with, and deploy web services. The training course will use Rational Application Developer and WebSphere application server as the development tool and platform. There is an optional section where you will also create secure services that take advantage of XML encryption and XML signature technologies. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=IBMSOAA Pattern-Based Approach to Effective Java EE Application Design. There is a lot of technology in the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (Java EE) platform. To successfully design applications for the Java EE platform requires a good understanding of these technologies from Enterprise JavaBeans through to JavaServer Pages. However, it is not enough just knowing the mechanics of the different technologies. As people have deployed Java EE-based applications, many good practices have been identified (and quite a few bad ones). These good practices have been encapsulated in several Java EE pattern catalogs and blueprints. This training course examines the primary patterns from these catalogs and explores how Java EE applications can be built around these patterns.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=BSJ2EEPATBEA Weblogic is well-established as a serious application server for developing distributed, scalable J2EE enterprise applications. This training course demonstrates how to build applications for the WebLogic platform, and then to deploy those applications on the Weblogic application server. Throughout this training course, students will build an end to end J2EE application.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONJ2EEWEBLOGICPersistence is for many one of the most confusing areas of Java and Java EE application development. There are so many options available to the developer, that it is often difficult to ascertain whether correct choices are being made. This 2 day workshop provides developers with two things. It allows them to get to grips with the various persistence options that are available to them, and secondly, it covers some of the guiding principles and constraints that should be considered when selecting a persistence strategy. The persistence strategies covered include Java Persistence API, Java Data Objects, Hibernate, Entity beans, Session beans with persistence logic, data access objects, JDBC, and a number of others. The class will take a Java EE application and build it using the various different persistence options that are available. The training course is written to use the JBoss application server. Other application servers can be used if required.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONJ2EEPERSDevelopment processes organise the activities and products of software development according to a philosophy and set of practices. The software quality, reality of the schedule, repeatability of the practices, and so on have not always been either evident or in proportion to the effort invested in many traditional documented methods. Agile development processes have captured the imagination and support of software developers and managers, offering an alternative discipline to either bureaucratic or chaotic processes. They are disciplined but more streamlined than traditional, more heavyweight approaches. Agile development covers a spectrum of development approaches, including Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum, Lean Software Development and DSDM. This seminar offers an overview of the motivation, principles and practices found in a number of agile development processes, as well as a brief tour of some key agile processes.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=AGTOURThe essence and basic structure of a software design solution may be repeated many times, even though the realisation is different in each case. Patterns offer a technique for capturing such recurrence, allowing design experience to be understood, distilled and shared. The Pattern-Based Software Development in C# course introduces patterns from the ground up, presenting principles as well as concrete examples. It develops understanding through lectures, discussion and hands-on labs, which reinforce the concepts by putting them into practice.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=PatternsCSharpThe essence and basic structure of a software design solution may be repeated many times, even though the realisation is different in each case.

Agility and predictability are two qualities often missing from software development. A test-driven approach, in which design is grown and code delivered incrementally according to functionality or risk, forms the basis of the construction phase of an iterative and incremental development. The use of unit testing provides confidence in existing code and supports the ability to refactor code as development unfolds. The course is intended as a practical course: the best way to appreciate how test-driven development works and what it feels like is to do it in practice, making sense of the principles it embodies. In this form the course is based on lecture material, demonstration, discussion and hands-on labs. However, the course can also be run as a seminar without hands-on labs, which puts more emphasis on understanding the principles through the demonstrations.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=TDDJavaThe Test-Driven Development in C++ course presents a number of modern practices for developing code based on an iterative and incremental development lifecycle.

They represent a common ground where analysts, developers, project managers and customers can establish system scope and negotiate schedule. Use cases have a role in the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and other methods, and a simple representation in the Unified Modeling Language (UML). More generally they relate to other scenario-driven approaches, whether in their common RUP form or when broken down into user stories in Extreme Programming (XP). There are many complementary techniques available for expressing and managing use cases. The Use Case Workshop introduces, and puts into practice, the concept of use cases as a tool for gathering and organising functional requirements, driving the development schedule and making progress visible.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=USECASESCEN"The main thrust of the e-government interoperability framework is adopting Internet and world wide web standards for all government systems.

It is also preferable to be using the latest stable versions of these software products. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=RTNETOVThis two day training course focuses on introducing Java as an implementation language for object-oriented applications. It is therefore assumed that you are either currently working on such a project, will be joining such a project or generally have an interest in gaining this knowledgehttp://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=RTJVFUNTraditional Web applications are not the most responsive applications when compared to rich interfaces developed for desk top applications. Every time you submit a form, or click a link, the responsiveness of your Web application is totally at the mercy of the available bandwidth. However, imagine a Web application that responds immediately to your requests. A Web application where data is available to you without you having to wait for it to come down to your browser. This is just one of the benefits of the AJAX approach to Web development. Just take a look at Google Suggest for example, available at http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en. As you type your search terms, suggestions appear on the screen! This one day seminar introduces you to the technologies behind AJAX, and explains how these technologies can be used together to build highly responsive Web applications.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONAJAX1This training course covers the core components of the Java Programming Language, and enables developers to build user interfaces using the Swing API. The training course is designed to teach programmers of other languages the skills needed to learn how to write robust, platform independent Java applications leveraging the power and flexibility of the Java 2 platform. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONJAVSWINGThe testing of Web applications is a critical discipline, and this course aims to take the student through the testing of all aspects of a Web application, including the front end and its performance and appearance in the browser, through to the back end and testing the components and classes that create the HTML and XML. The course, successfully used several times by one of the biggest ISPs in the world, also outlines the testing of Web services, and concludes by introducing the student to a number of testing tools such as JUnit, JMeter, XML Spy, and TestMaker. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=WEBTESTWeb application security is a critical discipline, and this course aims to take the student through the security aspects of a Web application, including browser security, server security, and Web services security.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=WEBSECEveryone is currently talking about "user experience" or "customer experience" or "interaction design" or "interface design", but what does it all mean, and what does it mean for your company? In a day when computers and technology continues to invade every inch of people's lives, good design is one of the most important weapons available. Effective user centred design can make the difference between a product that sells and a product that sells well with little or no customer support required. This training course will cover the main areas of creating excellent and efficient user experiences. It will explain the difference between interaction design, interface design, information architecture, graphic design, usability and human computer interaction (HCI). It will also explain what these different elements mean for different projects that are worked on every day. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=DIGINTERACTGrid Computing Services are rapidly gaining in momentum as a core enterprise technology. This training course provides an overview of what Grid computing and Grid services are all about. It also explains where these technologies could be used within an organisation, and what benefits Grid technology would bring. The training course also discusses the future of Grid services and Grid computing. The training course uses the Globus 3 toolkit as the Grid implementation. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONGRIDOV1Grid Computing Services are rapidly gaining in momentum as a key technology. This training course is a hands on training course, and you will gain opportunity to develop, interact with, and deploy grid services using the Globus Toolkit implementation of the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA). You will be exposed to the concepts surrounding Grid services and the technologies, including SOAP, GSDL, Grid service handles, Grid service instances, and how to secure Grid services. The training course also discusses the possible future of Grid services and Grid computing.http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONGRIDJAV1This four-day training course introduces experienced Java programmers to the Java 2 Micro Edition, or J2ME, and develops skills in Java programming for wireless devices via the Mobile Information Device Profile, or MIDP. (The MIDP is the "profile" defined within the J2ME for small mobile devices such as cellphones and PDAs.) The training course begins with a top-down tour of the J2ME architecture, focusing on wireless programming via the Connected, Limited Device Configuration, or CLDC, and the MIDP. Students learn the simple Core API of the CLDC - primarily by contrast to the Java 2 Standard Edition Core API - and then move into the individual packages of the MIDP. The training course focuses on application of concepts through substantial hands-on exercises: instructor-led demonstrations and individually-performed labs. A moderately complex MIDP application – a "MIDlet" - is developed over the training course as a case study in all the training course topics and skills. http://www.conygre.com/training/index.jsp?code=CONJ2METhis course is designed to teach ANSI Standard C to programmers in other high-level languages. ANSI Standard C is a general-purpose programming language that is widely used in areas as diverse as operating systems and games.
