The British Academy for Training and Development offers a professional training course in Java Web Services. The Java Web Services course is designed to give you a thorough understanding of web services and their place in the application stack using Java technology. With a special focus on the practical issues of building SOAP and RESTful services into applications, participants practice building, deploying, monitoring, and using Java web services to gain a thorough understanding of the Java web services landscape. The goal of this course is to provide participants with the knowledge to create secure, scalable, and maintainable web service solutions in Java code. This includes web-based technologies his SOAP and REST, but also data transfer technologies such as JSON and XML.

Who should attend? 

• Anyone who needs to create, work with, and understand web services in a Java environment.
• Anyone who needs a good understanding of Java web services solutions.
• Programmers.
• Designers.
• Architects.
• Testers.
