Software Design and Architecture

Programme

50 hours

Introduction

Thanks to this training from Software Design and Architecture You will study the fundamentals of software architecture, such as the concepts behind a computer programme and the different types of programming languages, right through to more advanced topics, such as the guidance objects and the management of data models.

In the process of software development, from start to validation and verification, provides participants with a comprehensive and structured overview of an application’s life cycle. Object-oriented programming, covering principles such as inheritance, the modularity and polymorphism.

And data modelling, which will enable students to build conceptual, logical and physical models.

Objectives

To analyse and define the essential characteristics that constitute a programme IT.
Identify and assess the various types from languages programming.
Understanding the stages from the development from software, from the specification of requirements to the management from projects.
To incorporate the principles of the guidance to objects in software development.
Managing the data lifecycle, from the conceptualisation until they are transformed into models.
To develop skills in identifying basic elements and analysing control structures.
To analyse and compare the languages targeted to the most common objects, understanding their key characteristics.
