CAREER ENTRY COURSE FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS - JAVA NC IV 240 HOURS

QUALIFICATION LEVEL : NOMINAL DURATION COURSE DESCRIPTION: :

CECSD - JAVA should give participants a depth and breadth of knowledge needed by would-be developers to be industry-ready using the JAVA technology platform. It is not simply a programming course. It should be viewed as a JAVA Software Engineering course that provides the multiple skills needed by a programmer to be productive in a real-world software development environment. It should take the participant through the basics of JAVA and relational databases with focus on object-oriented thinking. It should provide them with solid foundations in web programming, frameworks and software engineering. Attention should also be given to training in the value, tools and techniques of software testing. The program should be a combination of exercises, machine problems, cases and exams that will ensure that the participants gain experience developing relatively complex systems in a commercial environment. The CECSD JAVA needs to address the needs of industry for well-trained JAVA developers who can build web applications and who have a good grasp of the requirements and environment for enterprise systems development. COURSE OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this module the students/ trainees will be able to: 1. Explain the systems development process and basics of logic formulation. 2. Manipulate relational databases and write efficient calls and complex queries. 3. Apply the concept of objects, classes and the JAVA programming language and be able to test code. 4. Work within a software engineering discipline to build enterprise-level, welltested web applications taking into consideration security and performance issues. 5. Use frameworks. ENTRY REQUIREMENT: o o o o Must be a college graduate in IT related : Business Accounting Engineering Management Must pass IQ test and Programmers aptitude test, or Must pass the panel interview
