Module Title | Synopsis |
Introduction to Software Development | Software Development is more than just writing code. Software Development occurs within a project management methodology such as Agile SCRUM. In order to ensure the code written works according to functional and non-functional requirements, testing methodologies are introduced. Code versioning control tools help a team of developers to work seamlessly to produce features concurrently and release them in a proper fashion. In this introductory module, trainees will be acquainted with the principles of software development and best practices. Trainees will be introduced to the concepts of software development and learn practical simple coding with HTML (HyperText Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and JavaScript. |
Web Fundamentals with React JS | How do browsers work? What are the good practices in developing a scalable web application? What are the differences between Single Page Applications and Multiple Page Applications? In this module, trainees will acquire working knowledge and skills to build simple web pages with HTML (HyperText Markup Language) as well as utilize a more sophisticated framework such as React JS. |
Backend Fundamentals with Java Spring Boot & Database | What do backend developers do? How are APIs (application programming interfaces) developed? How do applications talk to the database? In this module, trainees will acquire knowledge and skills to develop backend applications that manage database resources through APIs using Java, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL. |
Introduction to DevOps | DevOps (Development + Operations) is a relatively new term describing the collaborative work between the developer and the IT operations team. By the end of this module, trainees will acquire working knowledge of a DevOps Engineer, enabling trainees to pursue DevOps Engineer positions. |
Mobile Development with React Native | In a B2C business, mobile applications are almost mandatory in order to provide the best experience to consumers. In this module, trainees will learn to interpret wireframe/user interface design produced by User Experience (UX) Designers and develop them with React Native. |
Methodology
Our unique learning approach is based on Active Social Learning, where learners learn hands-on by interacting with peers through synchronous and asynchronous e-learning using the flipped classroom model, real-world portfolio projects, and direct access to our Mentors. The learning system is based on David Kolb's Experiential Learning Model, Honey & Mumford's Learning Styles, and the Learning Pyramid.
