PTS is rolling out 2-day training classes for our partners on Oracle Service Bus (formerly BEA Aqualogic Service Bus), BPEL on WebLogic, and BPM. Starting next week, I will be delivering OSB training with former BEA'er and product expert Steve Waterhouse and long-time PTS integration expert Lawrence Kikuchi.
This class will walk you through the product and its features. OSB brings a lot to the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack and leverages our new strategic application server, WebLogic.
I invite all Oracle Partner Network (OPN) members that are interested in attending OSB training - or any of the other classes I mentioned - to reach out to your OPN representative. If you don't know who to contact, drop me a comment and we can get you pointed in the right direction.
Have a great weekend.

Colleagues and legacy modernization experts Tom Laszewski and Jason Williamson have released a new book detailing the SOA enablement and re-architecting of legacy systems (think mainframes!)
I've gotten my hands on a copy of this much anticipated guide and will be reading it over. I'll be posting some reviews here but I encourage anyone interested in bringing their "legacy" systems into a SOA architecture to check this book out. Reading the description, it seems not only does this book go into the theory of modernization, but also provides hands-on examples. You won't find many people more knowledeable on the topic than Tom and Jason.
Congrats, guys! I look forward to reading the book.
