Udi Dahan SOA and DDD training not to be missed!
It has just recently come to my attention that Udi will soon be running his advanced distributed systems design course in Austin Texas with Jeffrey Palermo’s crew at Headspring. I was fortunate enough to take this very course earlier this year in Australia and I can truly say that my thinking, planning, designing and output have all been enhanced in the most profound ways since doing so, it was one of those great eye opening experiences that can move you to another plane of thinking.
Judging from the course outline on Udi’s site, it would appear that some new material has found it’s way onto the syllabus (I’m jealous), which covers Ultra High scaling possibilities by leveraging REST and after hearing Udi’s podcast on that topic I think I have a feel for what that promises and can only say that I wish I could make the trip to the US to be there.
Whilst I gained enormously from the SOA and DDD content, I also took away some wonderful stuff from the ‘Smart Client’ sections of the training. My team have been using our own home grown MVP framework for some time now and Udi certainly expanded our thinking there, particularly with regard to multi threading issues - greatly useful stuff.
When I had the privilege of sitting through this training I did so with my team and cant say enough about how it invigorated, improved and turbo charged the mind-set and output of all who attended. Udi is a very skilful presenter and a wonderful teacher and significantly has amassed some great wisdom that anyone who is serious about building Service Oriented systems should go out of their way to experience and imbibe. If your in Austin Texas or anywhere in the United States for that matter, I thoroughly recommend you take this course, it is worth far more than the advertised price. Prepare to have some of your beliefs challenged and come with a spirit of learning and you will enjoy the rewards - I know I have and so have many of my colleagues. I know that I personally often find enormous value in listening and learning from people of the quality of Udi and Randy, so imagine spending a week in the company of one such teacher!!!
