Advanced topics in design and development

To promote the development of knowledge and skills in modern digital product design and software development, from design thinking and UX/UI fundamentals to object-oriented and reactive design patterns, API development, automated testing, and performance optimization, with the ability to create user-friendly, secure, and easily maintainable systems.

• Front-end and back-end developers with at least one year of experience who want to take their skills to the next level.
• UI/UX designers who want to gain a deeper understanding of the development process and technical capabilities.
• Technical project managers and product owners who need to validate design solutions early and coordinate development teams.
• Quality Assurance (QA) and DevOps professionals who want to understand the impact of design and architecture on testability and performance.

Electronic learning materials available on the Learning.qlik.com learning environment (access to this training environment is 180 days after the start of the course).
