Online Architecture Training Our online architecture training courses are based on a curriculum we used in a classroom-based national training and certification program which we ran 2003-2006 together with Microsoft Sweden, and which was later purchased by Microsoft Learning in Redmond. This new curriculum is dramatically enhanced, modernized, and extended. Its first four courses will be launched over a period of seven to eight months starting in July 2008. Each course is either about software architecture in general and service-oriented architecture in particular, how to align software architecture to business architecture and to business strategy, or about how to implement systems based on service-oriented architecture. Together they constitute a blueprint about how to architect and implement the agile and electronically serviced enterprise.
