Hello WSO2 community! This month we are launching a program that is very special to me, and I wanted to personally share the news with you. As you know, the IT community has been affected in a lot of ways by the global economic crisis that hit last fall. For Open Source in general, there is a silver lining: we are seeing more enterprise adoption than ever, since almost every company is looking to cut costs. But unfortunately, many experienced, hard-working IT architects and developers have been laid off. Long term, experts say that IT jobs will be in high demand, but I know there are still a lot of good people looking for work right now. During tough times like these, the IT community pulls together to help one another.
That's why WSO2 is launching the new SOA Summer School. We're creating 8 new training courses, and giving them away - completely free of charge. The material is meant to help you become familiar with SOA-related issues and best practices, as a way of improving your marketability, whether you are employed or looking for work. These customized 2-3 hour weekly training sessions will be held every Thursday for 8 weeks, starting June 18. They'll be taught by our most senior technical experts, who have a lot of experience with different SOA use case deployments. It's important to note that these courses are NOT just about WSO2 products, but rather give an industry overview of topics like SOA reference architectures, governance, scalability, and much more. When we give examples, of course we will use WSO2 open source code, but the concepts are applicable to any technology. For all the details like course descriptions and registration information, visit our SOA Summer School page.
