Requirements:

The most significant requirement for the training is the attendees’ full attention. The pace is rapid, and there is substantial amount of time for individual assignments and lab work. It is encouraged in the program to have people who finish each exercise early help those attendees that have not yet completed the assignments. Attendees who find themselves in the situation where they are forced to tend to outside work can quickly fall behind since labs are progressive in nature. It is best to assume that these people are unavailable during the training and not assign additional duties during this period.

Software Requirements:

The following software must be installed on students’ computers:

  • Java Developer Kit SE 6, _04 or better.
  • Mule Enterprise Edition 3.2.1, full standalone edition with MMC
  • A good text editor, Notepad ++ is recommended.
