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/site/training/index.jsp?code=BSJ2EEPATIBM Websphere is a now a well-established platform of choice for developing distributed, scalable J2EE enterprise 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/site/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/site/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.
