Program Modules

This module provides a comprehensive introduction to the software development lifecycle (SDLC), covering methodologies like Waterfall and Agile, fundamental programming concepts, and essential tools such as version control systems (Git), integrated development environments (IDEs), and debugging tools. It introduces software design principles, basic database management (SQL), and web development basics (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), emphasizing the importance of testing and quality assurance. Students also learn effective team communication and collaboration practices. By the end of the module, students will understand key development stages, be proficient in basic coding, and know how to use essential tools, preparing them for more advanced topics in future modules.

This module focuses on web development, covering both front-end and back-end technologies. Students learn to design and develop responsive web pages using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and build single-page applications with React. The module also includes server-side development with Node.js and Express, database management with SQL and NoSQL, and integration of front-end and back-end components. Additionally, it covers version control with Git and GitHub, user authentication, and deploying web applications to cloud platforms. By the end, students will be capable of creating and deploying full-stack web applications, equipped with practical project experience and theoretical knowledge.

In this module complex algorithms, data structures, software architecture, concurrency, advanced database systems, web and mobile app development, cloud computing, DevOps, AI, machine learning, and cybersecurity are covered. The module aims to equip students with deep technical knowledge and practical skills to design scalable, maintainable software, manage advanced databases, develop sophisticated applications, implement AI models, and ensure software security. This module requires prior foundational knowledge and is ideal for professionals seeking to advance their expertise in modern software development.
