Systems Architecture Training in Cape Town

This instructor-led, live training in Cape Town (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level to advanced-level software professionals who wish to understand how to architect distributed systems that scale efficiently and handle failure gracefully.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Design distributed systems that handle load, latency, and failure.
• Understand key architectural patterns such as microservices, event-driven architecture, and CQRS.
• Evaluate trade-offs between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance (CAP theorem).
• Choose appropriate communication, storage, and coordination strategies.

This training will teach you how to use SysML, the modeling language for systems engineering. In particular, you will learn about block diagrams for structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen the sequence diagram, state diagram and activity diagram for dynamic modeling.

You will also learn how to use specific SysML diagrams such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasize the need to define a modeling approach, adapted to the business context and the type of system to be studied.

The practice will be done using the Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modeling tool from NoMagic.

Teaching method

• Theoretical presentation illustrated with examples
• 50% practical work with Cameo Systems Modeler on a case study throughout the training

Domain Driven Design (DDD) is an approach for handling complex behaviors when developing software.

This Introduction to Enterprise Architect training course is designed for all persons who wish to use Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modelling activities yet are unfamiliar with the features, functions and use of Enterprise Architect.

Using a combination of lectures, demos, and interactive labs, this course showcases the foundations for building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) utilizing the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

Course Objectives

To provide an understanding of the essentials of embedded GNU/Linux, how the bits and pieces fit together. What components are needed to build an embedded GNU/Linux system, where to get them from and how to configure/build/install them? Where to get help from? What about those software licenses? Hands-on exercises provide you with the necessary practical experience to go ahead and develop your own embedded GNU/Linux systems after completing this training successfully.

Description

This five day training class uses hands-on exercises combined with instruction to illustrate the concepts of embedded GNU/Linux. It is designed to bring you quickly up to speed. The philosophy, concepts and commands necessary to make effective use of GNU/Linux are described through a combination of theory and on-the-job training.

Don't reinvent the wheel, but learn from an experienced trainer and take home a working knowledge of GNU/Linux and the ability to use it effectively in your own embedded development project.

Who should attend?

Managers, project managers, software-, hardware-, development-, systems engineers, testers, administrators, technicians and other parties interested in the technology, who want to understand as quickly as possible how Embedded GNU/Linux works. You must use GNU/Linux or you have to luxury to decide whether it makes sense to use it or not. Maybe you already tried to use Embedded GNU/Linux, but are not quite sure that you did everything the right way. You currently use a different operating system and wand to figure out whether GNU/Linux might better and/or cheaper.

Delivery Options

All the training material is English, but the presentation of it can be in English or in German, as you wish, worldwide.

In this instructor-led, live training in Cape Town, participants will learn how to evaluate different technologies and approaches for the design of a services-based system architecture. The training begins with a discussion and comparison of monolithic systems and service architectures, then digs into the details of microservice architecture.

Participants are given a chance to put their knowledge into practice as they step through the creation and deployment of a set of proof-of-concept microservices built with Spring Cloud, Spring Boot and Docker.
Finally, the relevant infrastructure building blocks are examined to help participants determine the most suitable tools and approaches to use for different organizational requirements.
By the end of this training, participants will have a solid understanding of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservice Architecture as well practical experience using Spring Cloud and related Spring technologies for rapidly developing their own cloud-scale, cloud-ready microservices.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination tests knowledge and skills required to construct a basic SysML model of a system. The examination covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and use of stereotypes. Using the knowledge and skills covered at this level plus familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML.  The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite. 

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types. 

In this instructor-led, live training in Cape Town (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out system requirements analysis and modeling.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects, using a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

This practical training will show you how to use efficiently the SysML modeling language. You will discover in particular the block diagrams for structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen the sequence diagram, the state diagram and activity diagram for dynamic modeling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams, such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the important concept of allocation. We will also focus on the need to define a modeling approach, adapted to the context of the company and the type of system to be studied. We will finally see what is the state of the art of SysML modeling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, system engineers, having to model complex systems including both software and hardware

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentation with examples
• Case Study on paper (demo of a SysML tool by the trainer)

Building complex enterprise applications is very challenging in an ever-changing environment.

Changes in the integration between services or systems will trigger changes in the design of the system. This course covers how to design maintainable, fit to the size and purpose of your organisation service and systems architecture and practical infrastructure.

This course covers common problems with building the landscape of distributed apps, starting from integration problem, infrastructure and modern approaches, to solving complexity issues.

This course explains the pros and cons of each solution (e.g. traditional SOA vs Microservice architecture), available tools (mostly open-source) supporting the development and maintenance, etc..

Course Format

It is mostly discussion (with limited presentations).

The course is designed for analysts, designers, developers, testers and project managers.

The workshop presents a problem analysis, design and documentation systems using UML and Enterprise Architect of Sparx Systems. During the training will be presented to the advanced capabilities of the program (such as MDA, profiles, XMI), and best practices that can greatly simplify and accelerate modeling.

Because the training focuses on the Enterprise Architect tool it is required for participants to already know how to model in UML. For those who would like to learn modeling we have dedicated training for UML.

The training method

Lecture 10%, 90% workshop

This course is designed for business analysts, managers, team leads and process owners to provide them with the required competencies for creating use case diagrams and use case scenarios, which serve as a vehicle for eliciting, analyzing, documenting and communicating functional requirements. Delegates will practice creating use cases in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to graphically represent the interactions between use cases and actors.

This instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote) is aimed at architects, tech lead who work with distributed systems dedicated to high traffic and required high scalability and reliability.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the key benefits, limitations and rules determining characteristics of distributed systems, scalable and highly reliable systems.
• Will be able to better assess what can be and what can not be achieved with such systems.
• Will know typical architecture patterns of distributed, scalable and highly reliable systems.
• Will understand the capabilities and proper model of usage of technologies, supporting scalability and reliability, systems like streaming service buses (based on Kafka), NoSQL storages (basing on Redis) and distributed processing.
