Software Architecture Principles and Practices (SAPP) taught by Rick Kazman, SEI

Although the term software architecture is used frequently in today's software industry, its meaning is not universally understood. This course introduces the essential concepts of software architecture. A software architecture is an abstract view of a software system distinct from the details of implementation, algorithms, and data representation. Architecture is, increasingly, a crucial part of a software organization's business strategy. (Complete course description - http://www.sei.cmu.edu/architecture/...9/program.html )

Migrating Legacy Systems to SOA Environments taught by Grace Lewis and Dennis Smith, SEI

This course outlines the basic concepts of SOA, illustrates common misconceptions about SOA adoption, and introduces fundamentals for successfully implementing service-oriented systems. It also addresses service-oriented systems development and its challenges from the perspectives of the service developer, the application developer, and the infrastructure developer.
