Michael Potter

Tuesday July 22nd 2008 at 7:00pm
Wheaton, Illinois Institute of Technology - Rice Campus, Room 103

Abstract

SOA is not a technology, it is a concept. This presentation assumes no knowledge of SOA, and works up to showing very basic code samples and prerecorded demonstrations of SOA in action.

If you are beginner to SOA, or are struggling with convincing others in your organization to embrace SOA, come to the presentation. You will be equipped to describe SOA in simple terms that everyone in your organization will understand.

This presentation is geared towards a technical audience.

This presentation is primarily animations and prerecorded demos, therefore there will be no handout.
