Module 1: Introducing API-Led Connectivity

• Identify the problems faced by IT today
• Describe what API-led connectivity is and its benefits
• Explain what web services and APIs are
• Explore API directories and portals
• Make calls to secure and unsecured APIs
• Introduce API-led connectivity with Anypoint Platform
• Explore Anypoint Platform

Module 2: Designing APIs

• Define an API with RAML, the Restful API Modeling Language
• Mock an API to test its design before it is built
• Create a portal for developers to learn how to use an API
• Make an API discoverable by adding it to the private Exchange

Module 3: Building APIs

• Introduce Mule applications, flows, messages, and message processors
• Use Anypoint Studio to create a flow graphically
• Build, run, and test a Mule application
• Use a connector to connect to a database
• Use the graphical DataWeave editor to transform data
• Create a RESTful interface for an application from a RAML file
• Connect an API interface to the implementation

Module 4: Deploying and Managing APIs

• Describe the options for deploying Mule applications
• Use properties in Mule applications so they can be easily moved between environments
• Deploy a Mule application to the cloud
• Create and deploy a proxy for an API in the cloud
• Restrict access to an API proxy
• PART 2: Building Applications with Anypoint Studio

Module 5: Accessing and Modifying Mule Messages

• Log message data
• Debug Mule applications
• Read and write message properties
• Write expressions with Mule Expression Language (MEL)
• Create variables

Module 6: Structuring Mule Applications

• Create and reference flows and subflows
• Pass messages between flows using the Java Virtual Machine (VM) transport
• Investigate variable persistence through subflows and flows and across transport barriers
• Encapsulate global elements in separate configuration files
• Explore the files and folder structure of a Mule project

Module 7: Consuming Web Services

• Consume RESTful web services with and without parameters
• Consume RESTful web services that have RAML definitions
• Consume SOAP web services
• Use DataWeave to pass parameters to SOAP web services

Module 8: Handling Errors

• Describe the different types of exception strategies
• Handle messaging exceptions in flows
• Create and use global exception handlers
• Specify a global default exception strategy

Module 9: Controlling Message Flow

• Route messages based on conditions
• Multicast messages
• Filter messages
• Validate messages

Module 10: Writing DataWeave Transformations

• Write DataWeave expressions for basic XML, JSON, and Java transformations
• Store DataWeave transformations in external files
• Write DataWeave transformations for complex data structures with repeated elements
• Coerce and format strings, numbers, and dates
• Use DataWeave operators
• Define and use custom data types
• Call MEL functions and Mule flows from DataWeave transformations

Module 11: Connecting to Additional Resources

• Connect to SaaS applications
• Connect to files
• Poll resources
• Connect to JMS queues
• Discover and install connectors not bundled with Anypoint Studio

Module 12: Processing Records

• Use the For Each scope to process items in a collection individually
• Use the batch job element (EE) to process individual records
• Trigger a batch job using a poll
• Use a batch job to synchronize data from a SaaS application
