• Project-based development

Software development is not only about writing code.

We help learners understand the wider development lifecycle:

1. Understand

Identify the problem, users and requirements.

2. Design

Plan the application, data and technical solution.

3. Develop

Build the solution using appropriate programming technologies.

4. Test

Identify errors, test functionality and improve reliability.

5. Deploy

Understand how applications can be prepared for use.

6. Improve

Review the solution and identify opportunities for further development.
