		<h1>Equinox OSGi</h1>
		<p>Equinox is the core of the Eclipse platform and a major contributor to the success of Eclipse on
		the client-side (RCP). Bundles (plug-ins) and Extension Points based on the OSGi runtime are solid
		architectural building blocks. However, Equinox is not limited to the client-side. It can be applied
		in a general way to build any kind of application, especially servers.
		<br><br>
		Equinox-based servers use the OSGi runtime which provides a service abstraction. OSGi is a dynamic
		environment where bundles can be installed, started, stopped and uninstalled at runtime.
		The Equinox vision is to model a community and a repertoire of bundles specifically built for
		servers, similar to the Eclipse SDK where bundles cover a vast array of functions and purposes
		for the client. Imagine extending your server with additional functionality by installing some
		extra bundles, for example a log analyzer for your HTTP service.
		<br><br>
		This intensive course covers fundamentals of OSGi as well as intermediate topics and specific
		features of Eclipse Equinox. You will apply the theoretical knowledge in several labs which will
		give you the practical experience necessary for your projects.
