Deakin University has developed the IT (Web and Mobile Technologies) course to meet demand for professionals in this area. The course provides students with the skills to develop the software, applications and system for the web and mobile world. Professor of Computing Andrzej M. Goscinski said the course offered both broad IT knowledge and specific web and mobile technologies skills. The course addresses distributed systems and applications, computer networks, Web applications and development, mobile application development, Web and mobile technologies use in organisations, and computer security. Students are taught and learn how to build software in the object oriented environment such as .NET and J2EE environments, program in object oriented languages C#, Java and SQL, XML, use Oracle, and how to develop Web Services that communicate using SOAP. Thus, our students can satisfy the Analyst/Programmer category straightforwardly. “The skills and knowledge acquired over the duration of the course will allow graduates to start their professional life immediately,” Professor Goscinski said. “Graduates are highly employable,” Deakin students can choose to study web and mobile technologies as a specialism (IT (Web and Mobile Technologies) or as a major in the Bachelor of Information Technology. |
