Overview

The course facilitates the acquisition of knowledge and skills necessary to build enterprise-scale Web-based applications. Some of the topics that will be covered in this course include: web services, object-oriented analysis and design, design patterns, application frameworks and service-oriented architectures (SOA). The course is intended for students pursuing careers as Web application developers, IT consultant team managers, IT managers, software architects or solutions architects. The delivery mechanisms used for this course include face-to-face lectures, online and in-class discussions, class presentations and hands-on labs.

What will I Learn?

On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

· Define “enterprise-scale web-based application”
· Select an enterprise-scale web-based application frameworks based on application type
· Compare and contrast enterprise-scale web-based frameworks
· Design an enterprise-scale web-based application
· Test enterprise-scale web-based applications
· Create an enterprise-scale web-based application
· Create a web service.

Who Should do this Course

Web application developers; Application development team leaders; softare developers; computer science/ IT graduates interested in a career in Software Architecture

Important Information

Many organisations have and use web-enabled applications. Since these web applications are needed for the enterprise they must be easy to scale and secure. To simplify this process a number of vendors have designed and released enterprise-scale web-based frameworks. This course examines some of these popular web application development frameworks. On successful completion of this course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, build and test components, integrate the components into a framework, and ultimately create, publish and consume web services. As such it is expected that they will become critical and creative thinkers, highly information literate and capable of creating innovative Web-based solutions to improve business processes and increase customer engagement.
