About the Course

Based on an understanding of architectural styles, you will review architectures for web applications, then explore the basics of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) in two approaches: Web Services (WS*) and Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture. In the Capstone Project you will connect a Java-based Android application with Elasticsearch, a web service with a REST application programmer interface (API). After completing this course, you will be able to: • Describe SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) to structure web-based systems. • Explain WS* services (i.e., SOAP over HTTP, WSDL, UDDI, BPEL). • Apply REST architecture (i.e., JSON over HTTP, URI). • Identify REST design principles. • Create a system using REST interfaces. • Apply microservice architecture....

Most of the content is based on out of date and legacy standards. Assignments require an in-depth knowledge of UML to get points, unrelated to the point of the assignment. Several of the review criteria are questionable. The final capstone assignment is just a copy-paste exercise to change the implementation of one class to follow the same pattern as another that has already been implemented. No knowledge of service-oriented architecture is required to complete it.

Expectation was not fulfilled. Just overview on so many theories and unrelated assignment at the end of the course. That too rated by another peer who can rate it like a robot using the pre-defined answer patterns. It would be good if the assignment are corrected by the instructor or at-least there is a way to ask any doubt directly from instructor.

Very high content amount; a bad structure of the content; it takes much longer than appreciate by the course leader; Installing Android Studio leads to many problems, especially if you have a company notebook without admin rights; I can't recomend this course
