|Object Oriented Programming |This course is a practical introduction to programming in Visual Basic and the use of |$8,317.88 3 |
|in Visual Basic |services provided by .NET. It emphasizes how to build Visual Basic applications from an |students + |
| |object-oriented perspective, and includes many example programs and a progressively developed|$421.16 per |
| |case study. Knowledge of the earlier version of the language, Visual Basic 6, is not |student over 3 |
| |required. It is current to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0, which continues the introduction |(Max 16 students)|
| |of new features in the language, making Visual Basic increasingly parallel to C#. | |
| |One of the strengths of Visual Basic, and the reason it has enjoyed such widespread use, is | |
| |the ease with which it allows Windows applications to be developed. Microsoft has revamped | |
| |the way that Windows applications are built under .NET. Windows Forms, used by .NET | |
| |languages, represents a class library that brings uniformity to the components of a Windows | |
| |application. The course includes substantial coverage of using Windows Forms in Visual Basic,| |
| |including creating database applications with . | |

|Object Oriented Programming |This thorough and comprehensive five-day course is a practical introduction to programming in|$8,317.88 3 |
|in C# |C#, utilizing the services provided by .NET. This course emphasizes the C# language. It is |students + |
| |current to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0, which introduces important new features such as |$421.16 per |
| |dynamic data type, named and optional arguments, and the use of variance in generic |student over 3 |
| |interfaces. The new features are covered in a new chapter. A new supplement covers the |(Max 16 students)|
| |fundamentals of Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which was introduced with .NET 3.5. This | |
| |course is intended to be fully accessible to programmers who do not already have a strong | |
| |background in object-oriented programming in C-like languages, such as C++ or Java. It is | |
| |ideal, for example, for Visual Basic 6 or COBOL programmers who desire to learn C#. An | |
| |important thrust of the course is to teach C# programming from an object-oriented | |
| |perspective. It is often difficult for programmers trained originally in a procedural | |
| |language to start "thinking in objects." This course introduces object-oriented concepts | |
| |early, and C# is developed in a way that leverages its object orientation. A case study is | |
| |used to illustrate creating a complete system using C# and .NET. Besides supporting | |
| |traditional object-oriented features, such as classes, inheritance, and polymorphism, C# | |
| |introduces several additional features, such as properties, indexers, delegates, events, and | |
| |interfaces that make C# a compelling language for developing object-oriented and | |
| |component-based systems. This course provides thorough coverage of all these features. C# as | |
| |a language is elegant and powerful. But to utilize its capabilities fully, you need to have a| |
| |good understanding of how it works with the .NET Framework. The course explores several | |
| |important interactions between C# and the .NET Framework, and it includes an introduction to | |
| |major classes for collections, delegates, and events. It includes a succinct introduction to | |
| |creating GUI programs using Windows Forms. The course concludes with a chapter covering the | |
| |new features in C# 4.0. | |

|XML Programming Using Java |nTier's XML Programming Using Java course builds skills in Java's XML processing APIs. The |$6,212.09 for 3 |
| |course is intended for students with a working knowledge of XML -- and possibly DTDs or XML |students + |
| |Schema -- who want to build XML applications or components using the Java language. |$263.22 per |
| |Everything in the course adheres to W3C and Java standards for completely portable code. |student over 3 |
| |The course comprises three modules, which treat XML parsing, XML transformations, and XML |(max 16 students)|
| |binding. The first module introduces the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) and the two main | |
| |Java APIs for parsing XML documents: SAX and the DOM. Students learn the basic JAXP | |
| |architecture and how to create parsers that expose SAX or DOM APIs, and how to configure | |
| |parsers according to the SAX features and properties specification. SAX parsing gives way to | |
| |reading and writing document information using the DOM tree model and API. | |
| |The second module introduces students to the XPath and XSLT specifications, and how to use | |
| |JAXP as an interface to XML addressing and transformations. Students learn the JAXP's | |
| |innovative system of Transformers, Sources, and Results; develop fluency in the exacting but | |
| |powerful XPath syntax; and then build a number of XSLT transformations. | |
| |The third module introduces the newer and more powerful Java API for XML Binding, or JAXB, in| |
| |its current incarnation, which is version 2.1. JAXB is now emerging as the tool of choice for| |
| |most XML processing tasks where an XML Schema is available or easy to derive: based on that | |
| |schema, JAXB-generated types can make it quite easy to read, manipulate, and write XML | |
| |information models. | |

|Web Services Training: |nTier's Developing Java Web Services training class prepares Java programmers to develop |$8,317.88 3 |
|Developing Java Web Services |interoperable Java Web services and using SOAP, WSDL, and XML Schema. Students get an |students + |
| |overview of the interoperable and Java-specific Web services architectures, and then learn |$421.16 per |
| |the standard APIs for SOAP messaging and WSDL-driven, component-based service development. |student over 3 |
| |Both document-style and RPC-style messages and services are covered in depth. |(Max 16 students)|
| |The introductory chapters give overviews of the consensus architecture for interoperable Web | |
| |services, including the WS-I Basic Profile, and the Java Web services architecture as | |
| |codified by the J2EE 1.4 specification, including SAAJ and JAX-RPC. These chapters are meant | |
| |to be equally useful to developers and non-developers – project managers, analysts, | |
| |technologists and support staff. | |
| |There is a great deal of hands-on demonstration of running Web services, inspecting SOAP | |
| |traffic, WSDL definitions, and a little bit of Java code, but no Java coding. The focus is on| |
| |the architecture itself, and on the roles that various protocols, APIs, tools, and | |
| |application components play in a working Web service and/or client. The course then gets down| |
| |to the various brass tacks: students learn the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1, and | |
| |acquire skills in using the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) and the Java API for | |
| |XML Messaging (JAXM) to build "low-level" SOAP- based Web services and clients, in which the | |
| |programmer is responsible for element-by- element content of the SOAP message. Students will | |
| |learn to read SOAP and to write it by hand, and then will proceed to use the Java APIs to | |
| |develop servlets that respond to SOAP/HTTP messages. | |
| |The course then moves to "high-level" services: component-based development using the Web | |
| |Services Description Language (WSDL) to define interoperable messaging models and the Java | |
| |API for XML-Based RPC (JAX-RPC) to automate the SOAP messaging for remote procedure calls | |
| |between objects. JAX-RPC abstracts almost all the transport-level implementation – SOAP over | |
| |HTTP – and this allows the Java developer to concentrate on application and service | |
| |specifics. (In this way JAX-RPC is analogous to Java RMI and the EJB architecture: SOAP/HTTP | |
| |is treated as nothing more or less than an RPC transport protocol.) | |
| |Students get hands-on experience in developing Web services starting either from WSDL | |
| |descriptors or from existing J2EE applications. Both servlet and EJB endpoint models are | |
| |studied, as is the management of SOAP headers using JAX-RPC handler chains. Finally, the | |
| |course covers advanced techniques including SOAP attachments (using either SAAJ or JAX-RPC), | |
| |EJBs and JSPs as Web services and clients, and Java Web-service security. | |

| |in JSP. JSTL is a major part of the new scriptless authoring style encouraged (and enabled) |$210.58 per |
| |by the JSP 2.0 specification. |student over 3 |
| |This module covers all four JSTL libraries in depth: |(Max 20 students)|
| |The core actions, which support JSP expressions for JSP 1.x containers, flow control for | |
| |procedural processing in JSPs, and resource access | |
| |The formatting and internationalization/localization actions, which standardize formatted | |
| |numeric and date/time output as well as multi-language support | |
| |The SQL actions, which dramatically simplify access to relational data from a JSP | |
| |The XML actions, which give JSPs a simple, powerful framework by which to parse, address and | |
| |transform XML data using XPath and XSLT | |
| |Each individual tag in each library is covered, with precise syntactic rules shown in a | |
| |standard format in the student guide, and JSTL techniques and best practices are discussed | |
| |for each library. An extensive set of example applications illustrates common usage of each | |
| |major group of actions, and the module culminates with a wrap-up workshop that brings core, | |
| |SQL, and XML techniques to bear in a single application. | |

| |While rich in functionality, administering JBoss AS can be somewhat challenging, as it often |student over 3 |
| |requires you to manipulate multiple XML configuration files that are located in multiple |(max 16 students)|
| |locations in a JBoss installation. This course covers all the important administrative tasks | |
| |that are required to administer JBoss AS. | |
| |It starts with installation, architecture, and basic configuration and monitoring, covers | |
| |deployment and configuration of Web and Enterprise applications, and then moves on to | |
| |configuration of the many other services that JBoss AS supports, such as the Tomcat-based Web| |
| |container, JDBC and JMS. It also includes coverage of the many details of securing JBoss AS, | |
| |as well as advanced topics such as tuning and clustering. It is written for versions 4.2.x of| |
| |JBoss AS, but is in large part consistent with most 4.x versions. | |
| |The course is focused and informative, and created by experts in the JBoss AS. It will | |
| |demystify the many, sometimes obscure, details of running and maintaining the JBoss AS, and | |

|JavaServer Pages Training: |nTier's Introduction to JSP and Servlets training course develops skills in JavaServer Pages,|$8,317.88 3 |
|Introduction to JSP and |or JSP, which is the standard means of authoring dynamic content for Web applications under |students + |
|Servlets Training |the Java Enterprise platform. It treats JSP 2.0, including older features such as scriptlets |$421.16 per |
| |but focusing on newer features and techniques, including JSP expressions and the JSTL. This |student over 3 |
| |course develops the important concept of the separation of programmatic and declarative |(Max 16 students)|
| |development: use of configuration and context information in lieu of hard-coded values, | |
| |resource locations, etc., to make the Web application as portable and easy to administer as | |
| |possible. The course introduces JavaBeans as a standard for business and data objects that | |
| |can be shared among servlets and JSPs, and develops techniques for sharing such objects at | |
| |session scope or by request forwarding. Finally, students learn how to implement filters to | |
| |adapt existing servlets by pre- and post-processing the request and response. | |
| |At the end of the course, students will be well prepared to author JSPs for small- or | |
| |large-scale Web applications, either "by hand" (they use only a text editor in class) or | |
| |using an authoring tool. | |
| |The first module begins with an introduction of Web applications in general, shows how Java | |
| |servlets and JSPs establish a framework for writing Web applications, and then covers JSP 2.0| |
| |features in detail, from scripting elements to use of dedicated JavaBeans to JSP expressions,| |
| |and quick introductions of JSTL and custom tag development. By the end of the module students| |
| |will be able to create their own JSP applications, including interactive applications using | |
| |HTML forms and pages that perform fairly complex processing using scripts and or actions. | |
| |Although scripting is covered, the scriptless authoring style encouraged by the JSP 2.0 | |
| |specification is emphasized, and students will be well equipped to develop concise and | |
| |effective JSP applications. The second module covers the JSTL, or JSP Standard Tag Library, | |
| |actually a set of four custom tag libraries that establish a portable standard for common | |
| |processing tasks in JSP. JSTL is a major part of the new scriptless authoring style | |
| |encouraged (and enabled) by the JSP 2.0 specification. This module covers all four JSTL | |
| |libraries in depth: | |
| |The core actions, which support JSP expressions for JSP 1.x containers, flow control for | |
| |procedural processing in JSPs, and resource access. | |
| |The formatting and internationalization/localization actions, which standardize formatted | |
| |numeric and date/time output as well as multi-language support. * The SQL actions, which | |
| |dramatically simplify access to relational data from a JSP. | |
| |The XML actions, which give JSPs a simple, powerful framework by which to parse, address and | |
| |transform XML data using XPath and XSLT. Each individual tag in each library is covered, with| |
| |precise syntactic rules shown in a standard format in the student guide, and JSTL techniques | |
| |and best practices are discussed for each library. An extensive set of example applications | |
| |illustrates common usage of each major group of actions, and the module culminates with a | |
| |wrap-up workshop that brings core, SQL, and XML techniques to bear in a single application. | |

|Systems |security." Secure coding practice for Java incorporates techniques for Java SE and Java EE, |students + |
| |and increasingly EE applications are using SE techniques such as policy files and JAAS |$263.22 per |
| |authentication. This course spends some time on each platform, so that students will be |student over 3 |
| |exposed to SE basics such as access controller, permissions, and policies; and also |(max 16 students)|
| |traditional EE techniques such as web-security declarations and the EJB authorization model. | |
| |Best-practice chapters wrap up coverage of each platform. | |
| |The course emphasizes hands-on exercise, and students will spend more than half of their | |
| |classroom time solving specific security problems. Most labs are organized as scenarios in | |
| |which a security breach of existing software is possible - students begin by hacking the | |
| |system in some way. Then the work of the lab is to tighten up the software to eliminate the | |
| |threat: set a secure policy, sign a file, clean up overexposed parts of an API, require user | |

|Jakarta Struts Training |nTier's Jakarta Struts training course shows JSP and servlet programmers how to build |$8,317.88 3 |
| |"Model-2" Web applications using the Jakarta Struts project from Apache. Students learn the |students + |
| |Struts architecture and see how it captures a great deal of pre-existing best practice in Web|$421.16 per |
| |application development. They build applications from scratch using the Struts 1.1 code base,|student over 3 |
| |advancing through actions and action mappings, form beans, and request forwarding. They use |(Max 16 students)|
| |relational data at the model layer and learn to configure JDBC data sources under Struts. | |
| |Throughout, the course emphasizes the great facility in Struts of using XML declarations to | |
| |replace boilerplate Java coding. The course then shifts from these controller techniques to a| |
| |focus on presentation. Students learn to use various libraries of custom JSP tags: the JSP | |
| |Standard Tag Library (which supersedes a number of Struts tags), Struts HTML tags for | |
| |form-building and validation, and the Tiles library for robust and reusable page layouts. Two| |
| |chapters near the end of the course treat issues of effective Struts development: one focuses| |
| |on "under the hood" coding techniques and one on best practices at a design level. By the end| |
| |of the course, students are building complex, internationalized Web applications that | |
| |validate user input, handle error conditions gracefully, and make best use and reuse of | |
| |control and presentation logic through actions, form beans, validators, business and | |
| |persistence JavaBeans, and Tiles. | |
| |The course software also includes an optional overlay of workspace and project files to | |
| |support use of the Eclipse IDE in the classroom. (This requires that the instructor be | |
| |experienced in use of Eclipse and able to walk students through basic tasks in the IDE.) | |

| |read and to hand-write XML well-formed XML documents, and then proceed to modeling concepts, |$105.29 per |
| |first learning the basic DTD language and then studying namespaces and XML Schema. The course|student over 3 |
| |closes with a chapter on important XML-related technology, including XPath, XSLT, SAX or DOM |(Max 20 students)|
| |parsing, and SOAP-based Web services. The module presents what might be called “Pure XML” – | |
| |by which we mean two things. Firstly, everything in the module is based strictly on W3C | |
| |specifications, without any vendor- specific extensions. Secondly, no knowledge of any | |
| |particular programming language or other external technology is required to participate fully| |
| |in the module. Thus the hands-on exercises, and the knowledge that is developed, are portable| |
| |and applicable to any XML authoring or development effort. | |

|Introduction to Java |nTier's Introduction to Java course teaches programming in the Java language – the Java 2 |$8,317.88 3 |
|Programming Training |Standard or J2SE platform. It is intended for programmers with experience in languages other |students + |
| |than Java, but who may or may not have any previous Java experience. It focuses on |$421.16 per |
| |procedural-coding skills first, and then offers meticulous, in-depth coverage of |student over 3 |
| |object-oriented concepts and how to apply them to Java software design and development. The |(Max 16 students)|
| |latter part of the course moves from these basic skills into key parts of the J2SE Core API, | |
| |including collections, exception handling, and object serialization. | |
| |The course software also includes an optional overlay of workspace and project files to | |
| |support use of the Eclipse IDE in the classroom. | |
| |Students come to Java from a wide range of backgrounds, and this course is designed to be as | |
| |flexible as possible over the upper end of that range. Specifically: | |
| |Experienced C and C++ programmers will find this course a very good fit and if anything will | |
| |find that they complete it in a little less than the full five-day timeline. We provide a | |
| |variety of additional exercises to these students to help them further their Java knowledge | |
| |and maximize their training time. *Those with experience in languages less like Java, such as| |
| |Visual Basic, ASP and other Web-scripting languages, and other pseudo-object-oriented | |
| |languages may need more time in the early going, and this course covers its introductory | |
| |topics in good depth and offers many optional and "challenge" labs to support this. | |
| |Less experienced programmers or those coming from non-structured languages – such as COBOL, | |
| |PL/1, or 4GL tools – will probably not cover the whole course in a week, and may want to | |
| |pursue an abbreviated version at a slower pace. This too is quite feasible. Let us customize | |

| |session beans in depth. The J2EE 1.4 reference implementation is used for all demo and lab | |
| |work, and we emphasize portable EJB 2.1 code. The focus for this course is on end-to-end | |
| |connectivity. | |
| |The course follows a path roughly from the data layer to the presentation layer, so we look | |
| |at entity beans first, and work demos and exercises in both Bean-Managed and | |
| |Container-Managed Persistent Beans. Then the EJB session layer is considered, and both | |
| |stateless and stateful session beans are developed. As part of the lab work, these are hooked| |
| |to provided JSPs to illustrate the complete system and typical architecture. | |
