Training session on Apache Axis2

A couple of weeks ago we were fortunate to attend a training on Axis2 which was conducted by Deepal. There is no better person to teach Axis2 than Deepal himself cause he has been involved with this project since its inception. Deepal is one of the six core Axis2 authors. The others are Srinath, Eran Chinthaka, Ajith, Chathura and Jaliya. There have been many others who've help Axis2 once the project started going, but these were the guys involved in building the core of it. Not to forget Dr. Sanjiva for all the advice and guidance provided.

The guys who knew Axis2 to some extent were able to make to most of this training, as we were able to question certain decisions made at that time.

Its also nice to note that except for Deepal. the rest are already reading for there PhDs. Deepal will be joining that list next month when he will head off for higher studies. Its also a interesting that the core Axis2 team has been associated with WSO2.

Deepal has also published his first book on Axis2 "Quickstart Apache Axis2" which is now available in the stores.

The Axis2 training was a great success so now its time to learn some policy. Again there will be no better person than Sanka himself, the person behind Apache Neethi (The policy engine used for Apache Axis2 as well as CXF). Once next week is done all of WSO2 will be policy experts too.

All of these are a part on continuous improvement to us.
