Developer Training for OSGi / Apache Karaf
Description: This training focuses on the essential features of OSGi and Apache Karaf that developers need to know in order to produce and support OSGi based modular Java projects. The course is delivered over the course of three days, the first two of which focuses on establishing a foundation knowledge of OSGi basics, followed on day three by introducing Apache Karaf and its rich OSGi run time environment. The labs offer students a hands-on experience in areas they will encounter in real-world OSGi based projects.
Target Audience: This course is for architects and developers who need to understand the essential topics of using OSGi and Apache Karaf to build modular Java solutions.
Objective: After this course the attendees will have learned essential topics in using OSGi and Apache Karaf, such as deploying a run time environment, building modular code, deploying and managing applications, and taking advantage of OSGi’s dynamic service model.
Duration: 3 Days
