Developing software is much more than just programming. In this course, we’ll take an in-depth look at creating software. We’ll begin with a command line refresher and then introduce git - an extremely popular version control system. From there, we’ll work through intermediate programming concepts and then introduce databases and SQL. We’ll develop some code to connect to the database and then introduce object oriented programming concepts. With all this background knowledge, we’ll start the construction of an application with many interesting features like an authentication system, collaboration tools, and reporting. Finally, we’ll work through team collaboration concepts and testing. In addition to these main topics, there will be many soft areas of focus like software installation and maintenance, server configuration, best practices, problem solving, conducting research and user testing, to name a few examples.
This course offers a broad and very rewarding look at developing software and may be quite challenging at times. New concepts will be presented in an introductory manner; however, much outside studying may be required to fully understand each concept.
