Arquitectura, edificación y urbanismo

This «Software Design and Architecture» training will teach you the fundamentals of software architecture, including computer programming concepts and types of programming languages. You will also learn more advanced aspects, such as object orientation and data model management.

The software development process, from inception to validation and verification, provides participants with a complete and structured view of an application’s life cycle. Object orientation requires a thorough understanding of fundamental principles such as inheritance, modularity, and polymorphism.

Students will also learn data modeling, which enables them to build conceptual, logical, and physical models.

Course objectives

To analyze and define the essential characteristics that constitute a computer program or software.
To identify and evaluate the different types of programming languages.
To understand the phases of software development, from requirements specification to project management.
To integrate the principles of object orientation in software development.
To master the data life cycle, from conceptualization to transformation into models.
To analyze and compare the most common object-oriented languages, understanding their essential characteristics.

What does it prepare you for?

This Software Design and Architecture training provides the skills and knowledge required to face the challenges of software development. It covers the essential aspects of conceptualizing programs, managing the data lifecycle, applying object orientation, and efficiently using object-oriented programming languages. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to design and develop robust applications.
