Overview
This course aims to provide a modern introduction to business computing, centred on the concept of an enterprise data model. Students will learn how to design and implement enterprise data models, and will gain practical skills in using modern RAD tools to rapidly develop business applications that exploit an enterprise model. Business-to-business transactions will also be examined, wherein standard interfaces are established between multiple organisations' models and applications using XML-based technologies. Java Web applications will also be introduced in order to develop both front-end and back-end applications.
