Course Outline
For many enterprises, empowering business users to react quickly to rapidly changing business environments and gain a competitive edge is a high priority. Composite applications have the potential to move the reuse discussion from the technical domain to the business domain.
A composition platform such as BizTalk provides a mechanism for supporting Service oriented architectures without hardwired and fragile dependences. The composition framework used throughout this course provides an interaction model that allows components to be effectively decoupled and abstracted from dependencies on other components.
