Ricston consultant Antoine Borg (read his blog) will be presenting on three topics on Mule at the prestigious Devoxx Java conference (previously Javopolis) in Antwerp this December (08 - 12).

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.

Ricston are excited to announce the introduction of new online instructor-led training courses for Mule in response to strong demand from the Mule community. Now in addition to our popular ‘quick upgrade from Mule 1 to 2‘ course, we are offering two new courses; ‘Introduction to Mule 2 Fundamentals’ and ‘Mule 2 for Enterprise Administrators’.

For a strictly limited period we are offering the introductory course (‘Introduction to Mule 2 Fundamentals’) free of charge! See the schedules by clicking the link below and sign up now as we are making a limited number of seats available.

We are offering the course in two flavours, one for developers and the other shorter version for management (just one hour) that avoids getting into technical detail and provides a high-level overview of the Mule ESB.

All of these courses will be delivered in ‘real time’ by a Senior Consultant and experienced Mule specialist using tested and proven tools that add a new level of interactivity to the usual online training experience. Sign up for a free course and experience it for yourself!
