Course overview

This advanced course will teach students high level skills to manage access to cloud based services whilst maintaining application-level data without corruption. In this course students will develop basic cloud and user level applications to solve user problems. Students will review the ethical, legal and security considerations of building applications dependent on cloud services. On the user side students will model concurrent applications including writing multi-threaded applications to support safe access to cloud platforms. Students will be able to build thread safe endpoint applications that leverage cloud-based services to provide solutions for modern user requirements.

Course learning outcomes

  • Implement threading and synchronisation correctly in a thread safe language
  • Construct safe high performance parallel and concurrent software using sound theoretical techniques
  • Design and implement complex cloud-based applications
  • Build complex applications that safely integrate concurrent applications with web services to create solutions that are resistant to deadlocks and timeouts
  • Design with privacy and security in mind applications that leverage web-based APIs
