Description:

For software development companies, a sound development methodology is a key to success. However, history shows ample amounts of cases where developers divert from the process they said to follow. Furthermore, some processes add significant overheads undermining the productivity at which the final goal is achieved - the working software. Agile is where the theory meets the real life. Than heavy weight software development processes, more and more companies embrace agile approaches due to the more realistic and practical means used to develop software, significantly enhanced productivity of development and continuous high value delivery to the client with guaranteed client satisfaction.

Description:

Despite the difficulties of predicting future, estimating software projects (development, quality assurance or maintenance) is an essential need. An estimate helps pricing and planning the project before the project starts. Afterwards, an estimate helps in managing the project progress. Hence, attempts to make an estimate as realistic as possible is paramount to the success of software project undertaking companies.

Description:

Mainstream software development nowadays uses object oriented programming (or OOP for short) languages and techniques. OOP is a programming paradigm and is supported by many modern programming languages.

While understanding the fundamental concepts behind OOP is a key requirement to be effective in OOP, one also needs to understand how these concepts are applied in real software projects. Expert object oriented designs also adhere to best practices and principles to improve the qualities of object oriented systems like component reusability, extensibility, maintainability and robustness.

Description:

Web Services has become a widely used integration technology in modern software systems. It facilitates interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over computer networks. As a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementation technology and a cloud computing enabler, Web Services receives prime consideration in enterprise computing.

Description:

Use case technique is by far the most widely used approach in capturing functional requirements of software systems. Use cases are effective, sufficiently detailed and clearly describes how software systems are used.

Unfortunately, many write use cases without a clear understanding of how they are used. This leads to diverse styles and structures leading to confusion or inferior requirements management.

Description:

PHP is probably the most widely used language in implementing dynamic web sites and applications. It is light weight but used to implement simple as well as complex web based systems. This training on PHP covers the basics as well as the advanced features of PHP. It also goes into covering some useful libraries, frameworks, tools and best practices in implementing database driven web sites and applications.

Description:

How to create a good object oriented design for a software system? Is it possible to follow a systematic approach where requirements are translated though analysis to a good design? What are the best practices that can be applied in doing so? This training program teaches you how to write use case as a means to capture requirements, object oriented analysis and applying fundamental patterns to create good object oriented designs. Content of the training primarily revolves around Generalized Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns (GRASP Patterns) that are primitive, but powerful concepts that can be applied in creating good object oriented designs.

Description:

Spring Framework is a revolutionary application development framework that has dramatically changed the way Java applications are built and integrated together. While the original versions had limited features, Spring has now evolved to a stage that it is so serious to be neglected. Spring helps applications be developed faster, encourages loose coupling, modularization, testability and reuse of components. It also simplifies integration, adaptability and reconfigurability of Java applications to an unexampled level.
