The Learning Process
Over the course of the past three months, I have continued to study thebasics of programming, developing skills essential to working in the ITindustry. Gaining a solid foundation in languages such as HTML, SQL, andCSS3 allows me to contribute towards improving SwiftCase, as well as anyother projects involving an online user interface.
Training: Week 1
The first week of my online training was challenging, but it gave mebetter insight into the business side of the software industry. Learningabout business methodologies provides an understanding of how managersplan before creating a piece of software, in order to optimise results. Mapping out the most efficient steps before production is key to anysuccessful project.
Introduction to Agile
Agile Programming is one currently very widely adopted methodology. Youhave a software development outlook which surrounds and is based on theconcept of iteration. It heavily relies on the idea of cycles, in thatit has phases; requirement definition, UI design, development, testing,evaluation and feedback. It sees development as a story with chapters,or a set of many stories which are improved and rewritten each timethey’re read by the client. As the iteration happens, improvements aregiven and made, until the product is satisfactory or as the client wantsit to be, at which point it is released.
Going forward
In conclusion, I think this week of e-learning has been of greatbenefit, by putting software development into a wider business context. Learning about Agile, for example, has given me more of an insight intohow certain features of SwiftCase may have been planned and thenimplemented in the most efficient way. Further down the line into myapprenticeship, I will be able to understand and use differentmethodologies depending on the approach required for any particularproject.
