Gain a comprehensive understanding of application development through four courses. Explore programming fundamentals, object-oriented concepts, essential tools, and development methodologies.
In the Application Programming Fundamentals module, you will delve into the core concepts behind modern, object-oriented programming. From objects and classes to messaging, inheritance, and polymorphism, you will gain a solid understanding that is portable to various object-oriented programming languages. Hands-on labs will allow you to put theory into practice, ensuring you can write and execute programs confidently.
The Object-Oriented Programming Concepts module continues to build on your understanding of modern, object-oriented programming. You will explore the key concepts of objects, classes, messaging, inheritance, and polymorphism using the Python language as an example, with the knowledge transferable to other object-oriented programming languages.
Essential Tools For Application Development focuses on two crucial classes of tools for developers: Version Control Systems and Build Automation Tools. Learn why these tools are essential, understand common concepts for each category, and explore specific examples such as Apache® Subversion® for version control and Apache® Maven™ for build automation.
The Development Methodologies Overview module introduces you to the main development methodologies used by application programmers today. Dive into the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), Agile concepts, Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery, and 12 Factor for cloud development, providing you with a structured framework for effective development processes.
