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 complex client-side application solutions using contemporary development tools

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

integrate application programming interfaces (APIs) to develop innovative cloud-based applications and solutions

assess security and privacy challenges in modern applications and propose mitigation strategies.
