Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

develop client-side application solutions using contemporary development tools

analyse and apply cloud services and architectures to develop scalable, maintainable, efficient cloud-based applications

apply application programming interfaces (APIs) to implement efficient cloud-based applications and solutions

analyse security and privacy challenges in modern cloud-based applications.
