Hi there,
I took the course "Developing Architectures for
Java Enterprise Applications" in Nov/Dec 2012. I liked it, because it was pretty focused on doing the assignment (part 2 and 3) and when doing the assignment, indeed I found it helpful.
On the other hand, it was rather theoretical and 4 days. Some of the students had also taken "Developing Applications for the Java EE 5 platform" and they said it was basically the same, but it was 1 day more (5) and much more practical. They said it was the same, but you get to do try things out yourself right away. So I guess that one would be more recommendable.
Hope that helps,
Paul
