Create a RAML API specification in design center, defining root RAML and resources for student and teacher with json bodies and responses and example data.

Create and publish RAML datatypes and fragments in design center, define student and teacher data types with properties and examples, publish to exchange, reference them in RAML specs during development.

Create RAML examples in design center, add student and teacher examples with first name, last name, age, salary, and publish API to any point exchange with mocking and public endpoint.

Publish the EPA to the public developer portal, promote data types and endpoints to stable, and explore the published API using the portal’s mocking service.

Learn RAML exam points on using exclamation include for external data types, the correct JSON media types, mock services, and publishing APIs on endpoint exchange for discovery.

Explore controls and sections in Anypoint Studio, learn their uses, build a hello world app that prints every 10 seconds, then an escheat listener-based app and test with Postman.

Install and launch Anypoint Studio, review release notes and requirements, set up your workspace, and explore the design perspective, canvas, and palette to build your first Mule application.

Explore Anypoint Studio's eclipse-based features for building Mule applications, including graphical and code-based flows, connectors, DataWeave data transformation, embedded testing, and cloud hub deployment.

Create your first mule application by building a mule project in studio, using the dot XML extension for the flow, and configuring a scheduling frequency of 10 seconds.

Learn to set up a Mule4 HTTP listener, configure host, port, and path, and test requests with ARC and Postman, while debugging and viewing the generated XML flow.

Create a Mule application in Design Center without any local install, using triggers like step listener, deploy to Mule Cloud, test in the browser, and manage via Runtime Manager.

Learn how an incoming request becomes a mule event, passes through processors, and carries immutable data with attributes, payload, and variables during design time and runtime.

Debug Mule4 applications in debug mode to set breakpoints, inspect event properties, and watch payload transformations across processors, including evaluating expressions and testing with requests.

Learn how to call another Mule flow with the http request processor, configure host and port, headers, and timeouts, and observe attributes getting replaced after an edp call.

Learn dataweave expressions to extract and transform data from events, using inline expressions, standalone scripts, and transform message to access headers, query parameters, and payload.

Learn how to create and access Mule variables to store incoming values, enable reuse in data expressions, and use set variable for consistent transformations across a flow.

Learn how subflows and private flows modularize Mule applications to improve readability, reuse common logic, and separate the interface from the implementation, with hands-on steps to create and call subflows.

Learn how private flows function in Mule applications, how private floors differ from subfloor, and how to implement and call private floors within a Mule app, preserving event attributes.

Compare private flows and subflows in Mule4, focusing on asynchronous versus synchronous processing. Private flows offer per-flow exception handling and different trading profiles, unlike subflows.

Learn how to use the target field and target value in a Mule flow reference to preserve payloads, store outputs in variables, and access private flow results.

Discover how any point connectors extend the Mule engine to simplify connectivity with third-party systems using standard protocols, via technology-specific or product-specific connectors that reduce coding and maintenance.

Explore the Mule4 database connector to connect a Mule application with relational databases, configure driver classes, and perform select, insert, update, delete, and store procedures.

Configure the HTTP connector in Mule4 with a listener and a request. Learn to set host and path, restrict methods, and map responses and headers for certification-ready workflows.

Explore advanced Mule flows by invoking a flow from another with flow reference and by using a stop request to call endpoints, comparing payload, headers, and attributes in each approach.
