E-commerce and Web Developer

E-commerce is the technology which enables you to conduct business on-line via a website. For example, buying and selling products with digital cash, via Electronic Data Interchange. Our E-commerce and Web Developer course provides you with the knowledge to be able to build database-driven E-commerce enabled web sites.

Course Description

This course focuses on the basics of web design and developing technical skills, including programming. To do this you will go through a syllabus of seven modules.

Syllabus
HTML: HTML is a simple scripting language used to create web pages, and is the first thing you should learn prior to doing any other internet related course. In this module you will learn to use HTML to format and arrange text, insert graphics and create links. For more information visit HTML

Macromedia Dreamweaver: Dreamweaver lets you build sites and applications by using either hand coding, visual design, or a combination of the two. It provides a powerful combination of visual layout tools, application development features, and code editing support. For more information visit Macromedia Dreamweaver.

Programming Principles: This is a first step into Computer Programming. All work on this course is done using a simple programming language called 'Q-Basic', providing a good introduction to the practice of entering programming instructions, and testing the results. For more information visit Programming Principles.

JavaScript: JavaScript is a widely adopted, powerful programming language. It is designed to be used in Internet browsers, on Internet Servers, and stand-alone configurations. For more information visit JavaScript.

Microsoft Access (Intermediate-Advanced): Microsoft Access is a powerful and flexible database management program, that allows organisations to organise, store and retrieve information. Our Access course provides you with the knowledge to create new databases, change the design of Forms, add tables, relationships and create a switchboard. For more information visit Microsoft Access

SQL: A query language for requesting information from Relational Databases (RDBMS) such as Microsoft Access, Oracle, Sybase, IBM-DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server. During the sessions you will connect to an Oracle Server with an SQL Net client using the Windows interface. For more information on the syllabus visit SQL

VBScript: VBScript is a server-side scripting language, which is interpreted by many web servers, such as Microsoft IIS or Susie Apache. Scripts written with VBScript will also embed your SQL and ASP or ASP.NET scripts and commands, which are necessary for you to connect your web pages to databases created with Access or SQL Server or any ODBC compliant RDBMS. For more information visit VBscript

You can then choose to do either ASP or ASP.NET.

ASP: ASP stands for 'Active Server Page' and is Microsoft's solution to server-side scripting. Through this module you will learn how to use ASP to create database driven web pages which are dynamic, efficiant and responsive to users. For more information visit ASP

ASP.NET: ASP.NET is the newest version of ASP, using the latest Microsoft server-side tecnology. It is a dynamic tool that you can use to write web pages that are dynamic rather than static, and that can also retrive information from relational databases. ASP.NET is a superb tool for Web development. For more information visit ASP.NET

Once you have completed all modules, you will be able to create your own E-commerce enabled website. This website will demonstrate your abilities to create database driven E-commerce websites. We will give you constant support while you create the site and launch it onto the internet. Your portfolio E-commerce site, which will have its own URL, is the perfect way to prove yourself to potential employers and clients.
