Actually, you might even learn something new from the quizzes, as even incorrect answers describe and explain actual, real-world concepts.Here is a partial list of the topics that are covered in this course:popular programming languagesdifference between software frameworks and libraries and popular examplesbasic components of web applications and applicable terminologytypes of data and databaseswhat is cloud and why is it such a big dealhow are applications put on the internet or what is deploymentapplication testing and types of testsapplication environmentsmost popular technologies for some of those basic application componentswhat is application architecture and how to design ithow are engineers collaborating on the same codebase and what is GITwhy is agile practically the only methodology used to develop softwarehow does scrum come into thisengineering roles responsible for different components of applicationsmost popular technologies specific engineers work withI've made this course after delivering such training offline internally in the company I work for to a group of non-technical PMs. Some of whom only recently had joined IT. It was received so wall that other departments started asking for it too.One of the participants told me: "I learned more about IT during those 3 hours than during my 3 years in IT. This should be available online".Consider signing up now!
