JAVA Development

JAVA I

This program will give participants the necessary knowledge to become industry-ready developers using the JAVA technology platform.  The program aims to give a solid foundation on the JAVA language, databases and web development with focus on object-oriented thinking. It will also provide software development experience by making participants go through a live-project simulation that will put together all the concepts they’ve learned to build an application.

Topics include:
  • Introduction to software development
  • Databases
  • Java Basics
  • Web Development Basics
  • Building an application
  • Struts

JAVA II

This program will give participants an introduction to the software development methodologies that they will have to work with. It aims to go beyond the basics of web development to give participants the ability to build a better-looking and more robust application. This program will conclude with a live project simulation where the output of Java I will be analyzed and enhanced using JSTL, CSS, SSL, logging, etc.

Topics include:
  • Introduction Software Development Methodologies
  • Advanced Web Development
  • Logging
  • Using Property Files
  • Packaging and Distributing an Application

JAVA III

This program will give participants a solid background on advanced topics like automated build tools, profiling, design patterns and working with frameworks. This is for participants who would like to differentiate themselves from the usual industry starters by going beyond creating an application as this will cover optimizing applications, creating better designs and software development automation.

Topics include:

  • Automated Build Tool (ANT)
  • Frameworks
  • Profiling
  • J2EE Design Patterns
  • Web Services
  • Creating a Windows Service
  • Distributed Computing
  • Cloud Computing

.NET Development

This program will give participants the necessary knowledge to become industry-ready developers using the MICROSOFT technology platform.  It will take the participant through the basics of MICROSOFT.NET and databases with focus on object-oriented thinking.  It should provide them with solid foundations in web programming, frameworks, software engineering and testing. It will also provide software development experience by making participants go through a live-project simulation that will put together all the concepts they’ve learned to build an application.

Topics include:
  • Introduction to Software Development
  • Basic of Web Development
  • Introduction to Visual Basic.Net
  • Introduction to the VB.NET IDE
  • Building Classes and Assemblies with VB.NET
  • Asp.Net Pages
  • Asp.Net Server Control
  • Web Services
  • XML with ADO.NET

Database Design, Programming and Maintenance for SQL Server

This course aims to provide a solid foundation on database design and programming as well as working knowledge on system administration. The course will provide an overview of relational databases as well as the theory behind it. It will introduce the SQL Server Architecture. Transact SQL programming will take up most of the duration with the aim of building advanced database programming skills. UML, data modeling, performance tuning and XML will also be covered to provide students with the foundation to become database administrators. Lastly, the course will go through the basics of system administration.
  • Relational Databases
  • The SQL Server Architecture
  • Transact-SQL Programming
  • UML
  • Data Modeling
  • Performance and Tuning
  • XML
  • System Administration

Business 101:  Essential Skills Training (BEST)

NovaED’s BEST credential is for the young corporate professional who needs to acquire the basic skills in all five (5) BEST foundational areas of  --

Module 1    Customer Service
Module 2    Business Etiquette & Professionalism
Module 3    Business Communication
Module 4    Time & Self-Management
Module 5    Effective Negotiation & Relationship Building

In the BEST, the young corporate professional learns the essential business skills required in the workplace within the context of the prevailing corporate culture and environment.

By the same token, the BEST prepares and develops the young corporate professional in sustaining these “transformational” (and not merely transactional) skills as they will eventually empower him/her to be able to take on a variety of future roles and responsibilities in the company.
