Students learn backend software design and secure API development, while also mastering testing and debugging processes. Students also examine development methodologies and build upon existing knowledge of version control and database queries. Throughout this subject, students have the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to practical software construction tasks and projects. This holistic approach ensures that they are not only prepared for subsequent software development subjects but are also conversant with current industry-relevant technologies for career pathways in Back-End Development such as Software Tester/Reviewer or DevOps Engineer.
