This self-paced Pearson IT Specialist Software Development course will explain the concepts, principles, and elements that are essential for a web application. These include algorithms, functional programming patterns, databases, and various programming languages, as well as important software development principles required in the stages of software development.
After completing the course, the learners will be well prepared to enroll in more advanced software development training such as a software boot camp or computer science degree.
Duration: 3 days of training
Audience:Designed to instruct
any learner who wishes to achieve a good understanding of what software development entails. The course will also help you investigate if software development is a desirable occupation and build a foundation for your software career. An employee involved in HR or management in a software development company can also benefit from this course as they will learn the terminology common among developers.
