“Mule 2: Developer’s Guide to ESB and Integration Platform” provides an introduction to the Mule 2.0 integration platform to developers of enterprise integration applications that wish to leverage the most powerful, proven Open Source integration platform available on the market today. It draws on the combined experience of the authors and content drawn from Ricston’s training materials for Mule. For more information about this book, please click here.

Peter and Antoine were both mentored by Ross Mason, architect and founder of the Mule project and now CTO of MuleSource Inc. Both have extensive experience working with Mule implementations ranging from simple to complex scenarios mostly in corporate environments in Europe and North America but also as far afield as Australia.

Ricston training materials have been used to deliver training to numerous developers in the same markets and have consistently drawn the highest praise from developers and architects alike. Their feedback over the years has been used to continually improve the courses so that they are today the most effective tools to communicate not just the technical skills but also the skill and experience of our accredited consultants that have been approved to deliver them.

For further information about our training browse the courses available or contact us for further information.

Antoine has 14 years of experience in the industry working with various companies in both the private and public sectors across the UK, Malta and Belgium.  He will deliver the following talks:

• “Integration Testing a Mule Application” will discuss the mechanisms that you can use to run standard JUnit tests against an entire Mule application and weave integration testing into your testing methodology. This session is meant for people who already use Mule or who have a basic understanding of integration work using Mule.
• “Getting to Grips With Mule” will introduce Mule to people who are looking for an ESB for their organisation, who are looking for an easy-to-use integration tool or wish to know what Mule could do for them.
• “Patterns in Mule” is a session meant for beginners and advanced Mule users alike.  The enterprise integration patterns that Mule uses and exposes are discussed and put together to create larger patterns.

The Devoxx schedule is currently being put together but some items are already online; this is a work in progress though, so check back often.
