课程特征 Course Features:
This innovative course provides you with the capabilities required in advanced web design, development and project management to enhance your career as a professional web designer/developer. With access to our network of organisations, you will have the opportunity to apply the highly practical knowledge and skills developed over the duration of the course to a 'real world' integrative consultancy project.
Today, any organisation’s commercial work systems are inextricably linked to the technology that supports them. The growth of the internet and mobile industries as IT environments for commercial transaction, information exchange and social media has placed additional burdens on IT teams in organisations, requiring that web specialists be aware both of the infrastructure of the internet/mobile networks and the enabling internet/mobile technologies that support all information and communication channels to and from customers and suppliers. The need for applications to deploy across intranets, extranets, mobile devices and the internet is now in major demand in the computing field. This perspective reflects the view adopted by employers in the IT industry seeking to recruit people who have the required technical competence in the field of applied IT, the necessary appreciation of different web-based systems and the personal and professional competences to be effective developers and administrators of such complex web and mobile applications.
