Free Tutorial -- Getting Started with FUSE ESB 4

On Wednesday, April 29th, Progress Software will be hosting a free tutorial that will help you get started with the FUSE Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) 4.  FUSE ESB 4 is an enterprise version of Apache ServiceMix 4 that boasts a range of new features, including:

• A normalized message router – a standard way for components to plug in and talk to the ESB, now supports multiple programming models in addition to JBI
• An OSGi framework – a faster and standard way to create, deploy, and easily provision integration components as modules
• JBI 1.0 and 2.0 compatibility – support for the latest version of the emerging JBI 2.0 standard and backwards compatibility with JBI 1.0 so components developed for FUSE/ServiceMix 3.x can be seamlessly deployed onto FUSE ESB 4
• Native Spring support – enables Spring users to quickly create components using Spring XML
• The FUSE Integration Designer - a graphical user interface to integrate systems using Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs)

Below is a detailed description of the topics that will be covered in the live tutorial:
