Intended learning outcomes

The students will acquire the theoretical basics for implementing distributed applications
with heterogeneous technologies which are used within the industry. The students will continuously
improve their understanding by implementing practical examples, thereby acquiring practical skills
as well. This includes the installation of SW components on PCs and configuration accordingly. The
students can assess different technologies and decide upon their benefits in concrete application
contexts in order to have the ability to design suitable applications themselves.
Thus, the students acquire competency in solving problems in developing distributed
applications on the basis of a sound theoretical foundation.
In addition, the following extracurricular skills are acquired: usage of frameworks and
libraries, structured and creative problem solving, technical terminology and English.
