This advanced course is for anyone who already possesses web design skills but want to know more and take it to the next level. Some programming knowledge is desirable but not essential.
The course will introduce more advanced web design theory and enable users to build enterprise level web solutions for small or large business. Students will be able to build a fully functional website from start to finish, without the need to hire a web designer. They will learn about databases, internet security, backups, maintenance, disaster recovery, programming hacks etc and be able to think "outside of the box" by the end of the course.
Classes are limited to 10 students. |
