CLOUD COMPUTING APPLICATIONS

Catalog description

three (3) lecture hours per week. The course provides the principles of designing and developing a software application for a ubiquitous device connected to web-based cloud computing systems. Topics include the history of network systems and the scalability that led to the cloud, the available architectures includ ing front and back end, the modern cloud data centers and their tiers, the user experience considerations, system and user security, the programming principles to design and develop an app, and the current market for these technologies. Students will desig n, code, debug, and experiment with cloud -based applications, using emulators and hardware devices. Students will produce a prototype of an original application that works efficiently and securely with a cloud system, and evaluate its performance in a real - world scenario. The focus of the programming experience is on the back-end of applications; thus, front-end development experience is required. Departmental elective. CCOM 4440: PYTHON (INTRODUCTION TO VIDEOGAMES); three (3) credits, three (3) lecture hours per week.
