MuleSoft Basics Training Overview
This live, online or in-person introductory MuleSoft training course is for anyone brand new to MuleSoft who would like a comprehensive hands-on introduction. Attendees learn how to build a system API and use it to create an API implementation. Students use Anypoint Platform components to deploy, secure, and manage APIs. Attendees also connect to databases, consume web services, and process large volumes of data using the batch features of MuleSoft.
