The evolution of microservices and containers in recent years has significantly transformed how we design, develop, deploy, and manage software. Modern applications must be optimized for scalability, elasticity, resilience, and adaptability. These new demands necessitate a different set of patterns and practices in modern architectures. This training program examines methods to identify, understand, and adjust to these evolving requirements. **Audience** This training is designed for individuals who have a basic understanding of container technology and Kubernetes concepts but may lack practical experience. It draws on real-world use cases and lessons learned from actual projects, aiming to inspire participants to create and manage more effective cloud-native applications for government environments. - Developers - Operations Staff - DevOps Engineers - Quality Assurance (QA) Engineers - IT Project Managers **Format of the Course** - Interactive lectures and discussions - Extensive exercises and hands-on practice - Implementation in a live-lab environment **Course Customization Options** To request a customized training for government-specific needs, please contact us to arrange.

There are numerous established patterns widely available for government use. Sometimes it involves adapting these patterns by changing names or implementing them in specific technologies. This can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be spent on design and testing. Training Goals: This course has two primary objectives: first, to enable participants to reuse well-known patterns; second, to facilitate the creation and reuse of patterns specific to their organization. It helps participants estimate how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process, and generate a code framework based on these patterns. Audience: The course is designed for software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers within government agencies. Course Style: The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with specific patterns. Most examples are explained using UML and simple Java examples (the language can be adjusted if the course is booked as a closed session for government). It guides participants through the sources of these patterns and demonstrates how to catalog and describe them for reuse across the organization.

Target Group:

Technical Team Leader, Software Developer

Learning Objective:

The purpose of this training is to equip participants with the skills necessary to design advanced development and project structures in C#. During the course, students will become familiar with MSDN resources and tools that support the development process, such as Microsoft Visual Studio and ReSharper. This training is designed to enhance technical capabilities for government professionals, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet the complex demands of public sector workflows and governance.

This instructor-led, live training in Birmingham (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level PHP developers who wish to effectively apply design patterns in their projects for government. By the end of this training, participants will be able to: - Understand the purpose and benefits of design patterns. - Identify and implement appropriate design patterns for common scenarios. - Structure PHP applications using industry-recognized best practices. - Integrate patterns into modern frameworks such as Symfony or Zend.

The training is designed for JavaScript developers tasked with designing and implementing advanced internet applications for government. Key topics covered include best practices in JavaScript programming, common pitfalls to avoid, and an in-depth exploration of object-oriented programming within the context of JavaScript syntax. This comprehensive approach ensures that participants are well-equipped to develop robust and secure applications aligned with public sector workflows and governance standards.

Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed for automating all development stages of containerized applications. Design patterns provide iterable solutions to common software development challenges specific to software design. Kubernetes extensions are used to configure and support Kubernetes clusters. By leveraging Kubernetes design patterns and extensions, users can implement CI/CD practices while ensuring the scalability and flexibility of their software applications.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers and DevOps engineers who wish to utilize Kubernetes design patterns and extensions to create enterprise applications on Kubernetes clusters for government use.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up a Kubernetes cluster and configure essential DevOps tools.
• Understand the basics of software design patterns and Kubernetes extensions.
• Use Kubernetes extensions and design patterns when interacting with the Kubernetes API.
• Develop customized Kubernetes resources and implement dynamic controllers in a cluster.
• Manage and secure any Kubernetes environment using Kubernetes plugins.
• Integrate DevOps networking models into existing and new Kubernetes projects for government.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Extensive exercises and practice sessions.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Microservice architecture is a method for developing software applications as a collection of small, self-contained services. Each service operates independently in its own process and communicates through lightweight mechanisms, such as an HTTP resource API. These services can be efficiently deployed using continuous automation systems and eliminate the need for centralized management. Microservices can be developed using various programming languages and can integrate with different data storage systems.

This instructor-led, live training is designed for government developers and architects. It provides a comprehensive introduction to microservice architecture from a .NET perspective, covers strategies for migrating from monolithic systems, and guides participants through the creation and deployment of a sample microservice-based application for government use.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Determine when to employ and when to avoid microservice architecture
• Develop and execute a testing strategy for microservices
• Deploy a sample microservice-based application into a production environment
• Refactor a monolithic application into modular services

Audience

• Government Developers
• Architects

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

Objective:

To assist Technical Analysts and Designers in understanding how to navigate the software implementation process, ensuring traceability between business specifications and software code for government projects.

This two-day training course is designed to help technical analysts and designers translate specifications provided by business analysts into detailed technical requirements. After transforming these requirements into software component representations, the resulting system components will effectively trace system requirements back to their corresponding software structures.

Ultimately, these technical specifications are implemented in software code and tested at the component level. The resulting software components offer a high degree of responsiveness to changes, as they allow for layer-by-layer tracing from user interfaces to business objects, through the application components where actor usage choices are stored.

The course is designed for experienced programmers seeking to delve into issues related to the use of patterns and refactoring. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the properties and practical applications of these patterns, enabling them to efficiently construct accurate and reliable application code for government projects.

With the rise of highly complex distributed systems, the complexity of individual systems has expanded to encompass the architectural structure of interconnected systems. This course examines the relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture, two areas that are closely intertwined but not yet fully documented. For instance, breaking down a complex monolithic system into multiple systems communicating through web services can lead to significant changes in both the new systems and their inter-architecture. This course will explore the trade-offs, common patterns, and solutions currently used for managing complexity and communication within and between these systems, with a focus on best practices for government.
