Drools for Developers

Build a strong foundation in Drools with this practical course suited to both beginners and experienced professionals.

A rule engine is essential becuase unlike regular code, with rules, the extent to which our rule based logic can be abstracted matters. Drools is the top ranked rule engine in the market. Drools is one of the leading implementations of rule–engines and uses the Rete Algorithm for pattern matching. Rule Engines are being used more and more for their role in handling complex business logic and increased efficiency. Use cases of rule engines today range from transferring maintenance to business owners [non technical people] to centralizing business logic with improvements in security and efficiency. As such more and more jobs are going to developers who have the skill of using rule engines like Drools.

This course will guide you through all the basics of Drools and get you ready to tackle any business logic dependent project that comes your way.
