Database modeling & relations

Learn the principles of database design and relationships. This module explores table relations, join operations, and foreign key constraints. Students will apply these concepts by designing a complete database schema for an educational technology application.

Week 5

Advanced database

Explore advanced database concepts including transaction management, data distribution strategies, and system redundancy. Students will deepen their understanding through designing a robust banking transaction system that implements these complex concepts in practice.

Week 6

Web Security

Dive into essential web security concepts and common vulnerabilities. This module covers cross-site scripting (XSS), CSRF attacks, encryption techniques, and SQL injection prevention. Through practical labs, students will implement secure document storage, explore security vulnerabilities, and build protection mechanisms.

Web performance & monitoring

Learn web application performance optimization and monitoring techniques. This module covers profiling tools, memory management, connection pooling, and data serialization. Students will gain hands-on experience analyzing server applications and implementing resource monitoring systems.

Week 7

Testing

Learn comprehensive software testing strategies and best practices. This module covers unit testing, integration testing, and mocking techniques. Students will apply Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles by building banking APIs, focusing on writing tests before implementation code.

Data transfer techniques

Explore efficient data transfer techniques for handling large-scale content delivery. This module covers HTTP streaming, buffered responses, and large file handling. Students will apply these concepts by building a music streaming service and a real-time log streaming system.

Week 8

API architectures

Through practical projects, students will build diverse applications including a gRPC service, social media platform, AI chat interface, and real-time messaging system.

Week 9

Authentication and Authorization

In this module, we will learn about authentication methods like sessions and JWT, and how they secure user identity. We will explore authorization techniques, including OAuth2, to control user access to resources. Practical exercises will focus on building secure authentication systems and addressing common security challenges.

Week 10

System design I

Explore core system architecture principles and distributed system concepts. This module covers architectural patterns, scaling strategies, and essential components like load balancers and API gateways, along with the CAP theorem. Students will gain hands-on experience by building a load balancer and designing a scalable streaming service architecture.

System design II

Dive into advanced distributed systems concepts and asynchronous architectures. This module explores message brokers, system resource planning, distributed tracing, and service level agreements (SLA). Students will implement a notification service and practice troubleshooting distributed systems using tracing tools.

Week 11

Devops and containers

Learn containerization and deployment strategies using Docker. This module covers container fundamentals, zero-downtime deployment techniques, and container orchestration with Docker Compose. Students will gain practical experience building production-ready Docker images and deploying highly available applications.

Devops and CI-CD
