Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is nowadays the main architectural style for business applications. It promotes loose coupling and interoperability, so that end-to-end business applications can easily be built from a set of business-aligned services. (SOAP) Web services and REST APIs are the most common implementations of these SOA ideas.

In this course participants get an overview of SOA principles: the concepts, the standards, the products and implementations. The evolution from the (classic) SOAP web services to REST APIs and microservices will be discussed.
