The WSO2 API Manager is a complete solution for publishing APIs, creating and managing a developer community and for routing API traffic in an effective and scalable manner. It leverages proved, production-ready, integration, security and governance components from the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus, WSO2 Identity Server, and WSO2 Governance Registry.
About this training

We will discuss the high level structure and components of the API Manager and explain how you can work with it. The focus of this training will be on creating, changing and managing APIs. We will also look at the new AI / LLM API functionality that was introduced in API Manager 4.4.0.
We also have trainings for older versions of the API Manager. If you are interested in that please reach out to us.

Prerequisites
At this moment we use Nomachine to connect to the instances. Nomachine should be installed on your locally machine before the training. This requires admin rights to be able to install this. Nomachine is available for Windows, Linux and Mac. To make a connection certain ports should be open(ed). We would suggest not to use a VPN connection if possible because of security rules. If your machine defaults to a VPN connection if not connected to the company network, switch to a non VPN connection.
We will test the configuration before the training. In this case you will need to supply your IP address because of the securitygroups of the instances in order to be able to connect.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the training take place?
The training can take place at Yenlo’s headquarters in Schiphol-Rijk (Amsterdam) or on site at a client when there is a large enough group of people.
How long is the training?
The regular training (classroom) ranges from one day to multiple days, depending on the product and type of training (e.g., fundamentals / advanced). This training is a half day
Can I have customized training?
Custom training is possible, however this will be priced differently since we need to change the standard training material. Please contact us if you have questions about custom training.
What is the difference between online training and classroom training?
Classroom training is a whole day or multiple days with the trainer in a physical location. The trainer helps you directly when you have questions and of course explains the theory.
The online training is conducted completely online and is a slimmed down version of the regular training to make it manageable for people to do it on their own.
In an online training setting, you will have a morning session where we explain and discuss theory. The afternoon is spent on your own, in the virtual environment, with help from the trainer via Teams or other communication tools.
What kind of computer do I need for the training?
The computer (e.g., a PC) should be able to run NoMachine and be able to make a connection to our training environment. Several ports and internet access need to be open / available since everything is done in the cloud. The PC should ideally be running Windows.
Note: In case of an internet connection not being available, we could revert to a local installation. Meaning that you install the environment on your local pc and work from there. To be able to install the ‘no machine software’, as well as the port openings, you need to have administrative rights.
What kind of operating system will we be running in the training environment?
We will be running a CentOS 7 Linux environment running on an Amazon with two cores and eight gigabytes of memory. This should be enough for the training in general.
Do I need Linux knowledge and capabilities to work with the environment?
Linux and knowledge of Linux is handy. However, within the training, the number of specific Linux commands that we are going to use, will be limited to some very simple commands that are also familiar for Windows users. Like for instance, moving within a directory structure with CD, and starting the scripts from WSO2 using the command line tool.
Is the training difficult?
Whenever you are learning something new, it is going to be a challenge for your mind. With that, we mean that you are going to learn new concepts, new interfaces, new tools. This will make the training require energy, but the training will be manageable.
However, it is very common to be overloaded with information at the end of the day, that is why the training instances are often just shut down at night because of the need to rest for your mind, to be able to absorb the training material in a better way.
Will I be an expert after the training?
One of the most important things that we stress is that Rome was not built in one day. The training course that you will embark on will be the start of a journey as a developer or configurator of WSO2 products. Do not expect every aspect, every detail to be crystal clear from the first moment. It is very common to only have the pieces of the puzzle fall into place after some time, or some weeks. So, no. You will not be an instant expert.
How can I best prepare for a training like this?
The best way to prepare is to get a good night’s rest. Make sure that you read the prerequisites of the training material. And furthermore, have an open mind as to the things that you are about to learn.
Can I do the labs afterwards, again, or are they tied to the environment?
Most of the labs can be done on your own computer. During the training you will have the training material online (confluence environment), after the training the materials and training environment will not be available anymore.
Can I make a copy of the training labs and give them to my colleagues?
No, it is not allowed. The training material is the intellectual property of Yenlo / 42Crunch and may not be photocopied or duplicated in any form or shape.
What are the languages in which the training is available?
The training material, as well as the training, is given in English.
