Content

This unit complements other units in the cloud major. These focus on designing and building cloud systems.  However, students must develop and demonstrate coding skills in order to implement a design of a cloud applications. SIT323 will extend students’ skills in implementation so that a given implementation is carried out to professional standards.  Concepts on advanced techniques of implementation, validation, searching and optimisation will allow students to acquire skills required to write industrial-strength applications,
