The course will cover different ways of deploying a finished application, how to externalise configuration items, monitoring log files and continuous integration through the use of GitHub Actions.

The course is hands-on with each participant enabled to configure their own server from scratch and set up continuous integration from a GitHib repository.

This course is for Java Programmers who want to understand the Spring Framework and the use of the Java Persistence API (JPA) in an enterprise software development environment. It is suitable for people who have no experience with Spring or programmers who have been working with Spring but might have joined a project that is already configured and not had to create one from scratch.

At the end of the course the participants will have a good understanding of Enterprise Software Development, Design Patterns and the core philosophies of the Spring Framework and will have practical experience in creating Spring based web applications for the Enterprise environment.

The first technique is creating a Progressive Web Application(PWA). PWAs are web applications that load like regular web pages or websites but can offer the user functionality such as full screen mode, install on desktop, working offline, push notifications and device hardware access traditionally available only to native applications.

The second technique is to use a library like React Native or Native Script. Both of these libraries are capable of taking an application developed using component techniques from React and Angular and compiling those applications to native applications. The beauty of using these technologies is that with some limitations you can have a single code base to create both Android and iPhone apps.

This course will take experienced web developers and give them experience developing for mobile devices using both of these techniques.

This is a hands on course that will create real web applications / sites and deploy them using a free hosting service. It will also create - as an exercise - a progressive web application and an introductory mobile application using React Native.

Some organisations would like to give an enhanced user experience to the mobile users of their website but may not have the resources to develop a native app for both android and iphone. For these cases a progressive web application which combines the flexibility of the web with the experience of a native application can be the perfect solution.

Progressive web applications (PWAs) are web applications that load like regular web pages or websites but can offer the user functionality such as working offline, push notifications and device hardware access traditionally available only to native applications.

Participants will gain the skills to quickly and effectively create new web applications with the latest techniques.

Node.js is very developer friendly and there can be a lot of productivity gains obtained by using javascript for server side development.

This course focuses on node.js and the express framework to create a web server or web application. It will use mongodb as the database and will conclude with a brief introduction to the Angular framework. At the end participants will have a good understanding of the MEAN stack (Mongo, Express, Angular and Node.js) but even if you are not planning on using Angular understanding Node.js and Express could transform your approach to web applications.

This course will give developers who are familiar with React the knowledge they need to deliver real-world React applications.

React depends on plugins and libraries for certain features that are a core part of other frameworks. This course will cover plugins for routing (React Router), ajax calls (React Query) and state management (Redux) as well as the core React functionality.

This course will highlight the current features in React and highlight the things that have changed. React has evolved quite considerably over the years and some tutorials that you can find on the internet are out of date even if they are only a few years old.

Selenium allows both developers and testers to automate tests against applications and execute them against multiple browsers. This course aims at providing a solid foundation to the attendee in understanding automated testing using Selenium.

The objectives of this course are not only to teach what the tool is capable of doing, but to focus on the practical steps required to make automation using Selenium work. The course provides a hands-on walkthrough to allow attendees to understand the steps in making Selenium function in the real world.

The consumer is putting increasing demands on organisations to deliver applications across many devices, browsers and platforms. With Increasing pressure being put on test tool budgets, IT professionals are looking to the open source market for test automation tools.
