Course Overview
This five-day training course is dedicated to the core body of knowledge required of today’s architects - development process and project leadership skills; technology; and finally analysis and design.

The first day is devoted to the accompanying service-oriented development process and the required project management skills. The second and third days are an accelerate course in WCF, ensuring the architect is a qualified technical lead in all aspects of WCF. In the fourth and fifth day the IDesign architect will explain the IDesign original approach to large system analysis and design and the IDesign Method™ for capturing the design decisions.

The IDesign architect will also interactively design a system by soliciting requirements for an actual application, and proceeding in real time to design the system, outlining the architecture that addresses the requirements, discussing logical tiers, security, interoperability, scalability, transactions, and other aspects of a service-oriented application. Participants will also have the opportunity to design another system themselves. Read the full course description and outline..

Note: Students are required to bring their own laptops to class.
