BizTalk Server 2016 Developer Training Course

Who should attend

Software Architects, Business Analysts, Web Developers, who need to gain hands-on experience of creating and deploying BizTalk business solutions

Prerequisites

Delegates should have experience of XML and ideally of developing distributed applications in C# or VB.NET using Visual Studio. An understanding of Microsoft SQL Server would also be beneficial. No previous experience of BizTalk is necessary though. Please let us know if you have equivalent experience in alternative technologies (eg Java-based SOA platforms) so we can advise as to the suitability of the course and any pre-reading you might need prior to attending this course.

On-site BizTalk Training

If you are interested in custom / on-site BizTalk development training for any size of team, please get in touch – we would be glad to help build a course that meets your learning requirements.

We can take into account your existing technical skills, project requirements and timeframes, and specific topics of interest to tailor the most relevant and focussed course for you.

This can be particularly useful if you need to learn just the new features and Best Practices with BizTalk 2013, or need to include extra topics to help with pre-requisite skills.
