Software Development is the comprehensive process of conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications, frameworks, or other software components. It’s a disciplined skill that combines technical expertise, creative problem-solving, and systematic methodology to build digital solutions that power our modern world from the apps on your phone to the systems running global banks.

At its core, software development is about writing instructions that a computer can execute to perform specific tasks. However, it is much more than just coding, it involves understanding user needs, designing intuitive architectures, collaborating in teams, and continuously refine user feedbacks to improve the product.

This course provides a holistic, project-based foundation in modern software development. You will graduate with both the theoretical knowledge and practical hands-on experience to build full-stack applications.

1. Core Programming Concepts: Master fundamental principles like variables, data types, control structures, functions, and object-oriented programming (OOP).

2. Front-End Development: Learn to build engaging and responsive user interfaces using the core web technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Dive into popular libraries and frameworks like React.

3. Back-End Development: Understand server-side logic, APIs (RESTful services), databases, and server management. Gain proficiency in a back-end language like Python (with Django/Flask), JavaScript (with Node.js), or Java (with Spring Boot).

4. Database Management: Learn to design, query, and manage relational (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and non-relational (e.g., MongoDB) databases using SQL and other query languages.

5. Version Control with Git: Become proficient in using Git and GitHub for tracking changes, collaborating with other developers, and managing your codebase.

6. Deployment & DevOps Fundamentals: Learn how to take your application from a local environment and deploy it to a cloud platform (e.g., AWS, Heroku, Netlify) so it’s live on the internet.

7. Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC): Understand Agile and Scrum methodologies, project planning, and the complete process from idea to deployment and maintenance.

8. Problem-Solving & Algorithms: Develop strong computational thinking skills to tackle complex problems and write efficient code.

To ensure success in this program, students are expected to meet the following prerequisites:

• Technical Aptitude: A strong logical and analytical mindset. No prior professional coding experience is required, but familiarity with basic computer operations is essential.

• Equipment: A reliable laptop (Mac, Windows, or Linux) with a minimum of 8GB RAM (16GB recommended) and sufficient storage. Specific technical specs will be provided upon enrollment.

• Pre-Work: Completion of a short online preparatory module covering absolute basics of computing and command-line navigation may be required to ensure all students start at the same level.

• Time Commitment: dedication of the required hours per week for lectures, labs, assignments, and self-study is critical for success, especially in an accelerated program.

• Mindset: A passion for learning, resilience in the face of challenging problems, and a collaborative spirit.
