Learning outcomes |
The main objective of this curriculum unit is to provide an overview of Web, mobile, and cloud ecosystems. This overview is crucial for managing virtualization environments, cloud-based solutions, and developing applications intended for Web, mobile, and cloud platforms. Lastly, an overarching view of introductory concepts related to computer components, numerical systems, data encoding and representation, as well as operating system principles and essential components, is provided. The aim is to provide students with a broad and integrative perspective of the concepts and technologies necessary to understand Web, mobile, and cloud ecosystems.
