JEE Technology Overview Course

Course Description

The JEE Technology overview course is for companies and individuals who are entering the JEE field for the first time and require an overview of the JEE architecture to understand the use of the appropriate technologies. Topics include an overview of JEE technology and architectures, including Java servlets and Java Server Pages, Enterprise JavaBeans and others.

Companies and individuals who are already doing JEE development and require training in specific aspects of the JEE architecture are advised to attend the more specialised Java Servlets and JSP course and the Enterprise JavaBeans Development course.

This course is run in parallel with the JEE Development course.

Course Objectives

Delegates who attend the JEE Technology Overview will be able to:

• Understand the concepts of distributed computing and component-based architectures.
• Understand the JEE architecture and choose approriate JEE technology.
• Understand the differences between the JEE and .NET platforms.
• Understand the role of web services in distributed computing.

Intended Audience

The JEE overview is suitable for project and programme managers, system architects, developers and programmers who require an understanding of the JEE environment.
