Contents
Among the areas you will cover is the development of sophisticated touch surface devices such as the iPad and the iPhone, which requires skills in native programming techniques, graphics and animation, and mobile application development. The course includes modules that will give you the knowledge and practical techniques to develop applications for these new devices, covering the rich, user-centric, multiple-touch client software and the web-based service that this software consumes.
The course also covers the increasingly important area of resource virtualisation, services and systems administration. Businesses are now regularly using virtualised systems and techniques to lower costs and complexity and increase availability in computing environments. This course has a pathway of modules that will impart these principles and practice and provides a solid foundation for you to gain entry into this specialism.
