WSO2 workshop on using WSO2 API Manager comes to Colombo

•  One-Day, Hands-on Workshop Offers IT Professionals Best Practices for Installing, Configuring and Using Advanced Features of the WSO2 API Manager

Many traditional service-oriented architecture (SOA) and integration platforms enable rapid development, but they provide little support for collaboration, sharing and re-use. As a result, IT teams often experience rapid portfolio proliferation and sprawl rather than enhanced business agility. In a hands-on workshop for IT professionals, WSO2 will explore how to use the WSO2 API Manager (currently in beta) to address these challenges and optimise an organisation’s API interactions.

To participate in the one-day workshop, ‘Discover the WSO2 API Manager’, attendees will need to bring a laptop capable of running a virtual machine (4 GB memory recommended). The workshop will be held in Colombo on Wednesday 8 August from 9a.m. to 4p.m. To register, visit http://wso2.com/events/workshops/2012-august-colombo-discover-the-wso2-api-manager-practical-workshop.

Discover the WSO2 API Manager

The workshop is designed for IT architects and developers seeking to understand how to use WSO2 API Manager’s capabilities for publishing APIs, creating and managing a developer community, and scalably routing API traffic. Attendees will get hands-on experience in how to install, configure, use and manage the WSO2 API Manager product. Additionally, participants will learn how to take advantage of advanced features, such as creating service-level agreements (SLAs).

Key topics will include: Introduction to the WSO2 API Manager; Installing, configuring and using the WSO2 API Manager; Clients and API keys, sandbox and production; Analytics and activity monitoring; Advanced features for versioning, branding/skin development, deployment, and SLAs and Next steps, futures, and how to engage with WSO2.
