Transaction Oriented Design
London, March 8th-11th

Objective:

• Designing reliable, scalable, enterprise applications is hard. There is no perfect textbook solution, just a series of compromises that balance time, features and cost.

Prerequisites:

• Familiarity with J2EE technologies including Servlets, EJBs and Message Queues
  Programming experience with J2EE is useful but not required
  Understanding of networking components such as firewalls, load-balancers, directories, and databases
  
  This content is aimed at enterprise architects and senior developers responsible for the design of mission critical systems.
