Laboratories
Web Development Lab
This labs main focus is the study of Web development at the back-end of the website where the programming and interactions are focused on the pages, the study of concepts, technologies, and tools required for developing multi-tiered enterprise-level Web applications, the fundamental architectural elements of programming web sites that produce content dynamically, as well as the database connectivity options, distributed object technologies, n-tier client/server applications architecture, and security issues. The students focus on how a site works and how the customers get things done on it. Students are introduced to World Wide Web applications and design, including Web scripting languages and HTML editors. Students are able to learn how to program CGI and scripts like PHP. They understand how web forms work and can keep a site running effectively.
Mobile Application Development
The process of creating software for smartphones, tablets, and digital assistants—most often for the Android and iOS operating systems—is known as mobile application development. The program can be accessed via a mobile web browser, downloaded from a mobile app store, or preinstalled on the device. The markup and programming languages utilized in this type of software development are HTML5, C#, Java, and Swift. The creation of mobile apps is expanding quickly. Organizations in a variety of sectors, including government, insurance, healthcare, and retail, telecommunications, and e-commerce, need to satisfy consumer expectations for quick, easy ways to conduct business and obtain information. Currently, the most widely used method for individuals and companies to access the internet is through mobile devices—as well as the mobile applications that maximize their potential. In order to maintain relevance, responsiveness, and success, businesses must provide the mobile applications that their partners, clients, and staff want.
Software Project Management Lab
Project management software is used for organizing, planning, allocating resources, carrying out, monitoring, and completing software and web projects. Software engineering project management differs from typical project management in that software has a distinct life cycle process that calls for numerous iterations of testing, updating, and user input. In order to stay up with the fast-paced business environment and adapt to the feedback from stakeholders and customers, the majority of IT-related projects are managed using the Agile methodology. One may argue that software is an intangible product. There is very little expertise in creating software goods, and software development is essentially a completely new industry in the world of business. The majority of software products are customized to meet the needs of the customer. The primary reason is because the underlying technology is evolving so quickly and frequently that one product's experience might not translate to another. Since there is risk involved in software development due to all of these commercial and environmental restrictions, effective project management is crucial.
