NEXT CLASS:
September 27 - 30 , 2010, Washington, DC area
This class will include courses TBPT-201 and TBPT-202 - see below, and an optional 1 day refresher course, TBPT-150, on semantic technology key concepts and tool basics offered immediately prior to the product training.
It is highly recommended that students have taken the foundation class Getting Ready for the Semantic Web with TopBraid Suite before taking TopBraid advanced product training courses. Equivalent experience may be substituted.
An optional 1 day refresher course is offered prior to the advanced product training classes (covering selected material and exercises from Getting Ready for the Semantic Web with TopBraid Suite), for those needing or wanting to review prerequisite semantic web concepts, standards and tool basics in order to get the most out of the TopBraid advanced product training. Taking course201 is a pre-requisite for taking 202.
TopBraid Advanced Product Training (TBPT) Courses
TBPT-201: TopBraid Composer (TBC): Capabilities for Importing, Querying, Processing and Exporting Data
TBPT-202: TopBraid Composer Maestro Edition (TBC-ME): TBC-ME: SPARQLMotion, TopBraid Ensemble and Advanced Capabilities
TBPT-203: Building and Deploying Semantic Web Applications with TopBraid Suite (TBE)
