Basic knowledge in Software Development.

1. Programming Languages

• Understanding Syntax: Knowing the rules and structure of a programming language.

• Common Languages:

  • Python: Versatile and beginner-friendly.

  • Java: Often used for enterprise applications and Android development.

  • JavaScript: Key for web development.

  • C#: Popular in game development and Windows applications.

• 2. Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

  • 1. Planning: Understanding requirements.

       2. Design: Creating architecture or system design.

       3. Development: Writing code.

       4. Testing: Identifying and fixing bugs.

       5. Deployment: Releasing the product.

       6. Maintenance: Updating and fixing the software post-release.

3. Problem-Solving and Algorithms

• Algorithms: Understanding how to write step-by-step instructions to solve problems.

• Data Structures: Using arrays, lists, stacks, queues, etc., to organize and manage data.

4. Tools and Version Control

• IDE (Integrated Development Environment): Tools like Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA, or Eclipse for writing and managing code.

• Version Control: Using Git and platforms like GitHub or GitLab for collaborative coding and version tracking.

Debugging and Testing

• Debugging: Identifying and resolving errors in the code.

• Testing: Writing unit tests, integration tests, and system tests to ensure software works as intended.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Key concepts:

  • Classes and Objects: The blueprint and instances.

  • Inheritance: Reusing code from parent classes.

  • Polymorphism: Methods functioning differently based on the context.

  • Encapsulation: Hiding implementation details from the user.

7. Databases

• Basics: Storing and retrieving data using databases.

• SQL: Query language for managing relational databases.

• NoSQL: Databases like MongoDB for unstructured data.

8. Frontend and Backend Basics

• Frontend: User interface using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

• Backend: Server-side logic, databases, and APIs, often written in Python, Java, PHP, etc.

9. Frameworks and Libraries

• Examples:

  • Frontend: React, Angular.

  • Backend: Django, Spring Boot.

  • Mobile: Flutter, React Native.

10. Collaboration and Agile Practices

• Agile Methodology: Iterative approach to development.

• Scrum: Framework for team collaboration.

• Communication Tools: Slack, Jira, Trello.

11. Security Awareness

• Basic Security: Avoiding common vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.

• Best Practices: Writing secure code and handling sensitive data responsibly.
