Web Technologies and Development FdSc

This Foundation Degree includes the study of such topics as client-side and server-side scripting, and database design and implementation using SQL, all of which contribute to the current extraordinary achievements of the Internet and provide solid foundations for the next major iteration of the Web that is being built upon Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies and projects like Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).<br/>We will introduce students to a selection of current Internet and web technologies like Web Server configuration, networks forensics and advanced topics in full stack software development, cloud computing and cyber security which form an integral part of the course. This topic integrates well within the project-based approach of the programme that reflects ‘real life’ problems that students can expect to encounter in the world of work. As with much of the modern coding paradigm, an Object-Oriented approach will be used fundamentally to develop coding solutions.<br/>Assessment is undertaken through a range of techniques including assignment work, presentations, short tests, practical tasks, projects, and other modern methodologies.<br/>Successful completion of the FdSc Web Technologies and Development can lead to a wide range of roles including Junior Full Stack Web Developer, Junior Software Developer, IT Project Co-ordinator, Database Administrator, or Database Engineer.
