Why have I chosen this course?

It was two possibities : SOA or coding teory. Coding teory I already had.So I am here J

# What is the added value (if any) of attending this course for you, as a future software systems architect (please maintain this longer-term perspective)? I don’t use skills from this SOA course, because I don’t need it NOW. Maybe in the feature… What  I’ve gained?

1.      What is SOA?

2.      How do it?

3.      Something about projects management

4.      Something about life :)

# How do you see SOA in 5 years from now?

Major part of today’s technologies will be service-oriented. All business organizations will use SOA approach to manage their business processes. It will be more SOA tools.

# What are the pros and cons of “totally online” computing? Think of the Yahoo Pipes – you basically depend totally on the connections.

Pros fresh data at any moment, ability to select from a variety of services,

Cons SECURITY. It is very important to save PC resources.

# How would you use Web 2.0 in a commercial projects? Web 2.0 is, in short: social computing + data mash-ups + rich interfaces.

Data mach-up is GOOD. Our project shown that there are a lot of things we can do with web 2.0. So, we need just to sit and think for a while…. :)

# How would have you organized this course if given a chance? Please think both from the contents and the form perspective. What the lecturers were good at? What the lecturers did wrong?

Good

 1.      inviting other people to talk about SOA(their personal experience): Jonathan Briggs J, … 

  2.      each student had a possibility to ask and start a  discussion

3.      the alive and friendly communications

4.      practical project

Wrong:

1.      I miss more specific about technologies in SOA

2.      lectures could be shorter

3.      sometimes too many “philosophy of life”

4.      lectures Saturdays!!! Not good!

5.      too long dinner break

6.      very short time to do the project

What is the immediate benefit for you in your current professional situation? How do you see SOA being helpful in your professional environment?

I didn’t find immediate benefit for my current professional situation. But who knows, maybe in the future I will use skills from this SOA course, because (from Laimis feedback J ) „I think SOA idea will have a devastating power in near future, especially with new technologies and new emerging possibilities.“
