Yesterday I live-streamed the first of (hopefully) 7 sessions where I’m gonna explain basic MuleSoft concepts for any newbie that wants to get started on this tech suite.

Don’t worry if you didn’t make it for this first session! I haven’t started with the actual content yet. In this first video, I created an outline with the information we are going to go through in the next sessions. This outline (and all future notes/code) can be found in the following GitHub repository.

The version that I just created is the following. However, make sure you check the latest version from the repository to be up-to-date!

Outline — First Draft

First session:

  • MuleSoft products
  • Community overview
  • Trainings/certification (?)
  • APIs????
  • API-Led connectivity

  • Write down requirements
  • Design the API spec in Design Center
  • Test with the Mocking Service
  • Publish to Exchange

Third session:

  • Briefffff summary of ACB (BETA)

Fourth session:

Live Streams

For each of these sessions, I will be live-streaming every Wednesday at 1:30 pm ET (Eastern Time) on my Twitch channel (link below). You can join me live, or you can watch the recordings.

I recommend you follow me there to see the schedule and get reminders of my next streams!

Recordings

Finally, if you can’t make it to the live streams, you can always watch the recordings. In this case, there will be two different recorded videos:

  • The complete video on Twitch
  • The edited/clean/shorter version on YouTube

Here you can find the shorter version from YouTube:

And here you can find the complete video from Twitch:

Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, or just general feedback for me before we start with the sessions!
