Listed below are some of the highlights of what is included with this book:

Learn About the Software Development Lifecycle

What is the software development life cycle? The software development life cycle, or SDLC, is made up of the general steps, taken by software development teams, to produce working software. Each step defines a phase of the software development project. During each phase, team members will have different responsibilities that will help drive the software toward final production.

Introduction to Programming

Introduction to Programming in C#

Software development and programming is one of the essential parts of the IT industry. Programmers are in high demand as the IT industry continues to expand, and they earn attractive salaries. In this section of the book we will introduction the basics of programming in C# which is one of the most popular programming languages in the world.

Also Included

Database Management Systems

In this chapter, I will start with a discussion of relational databases, which make up the majority of products on the market today. Next, I will then briefly describe the basics of the Structured Query Language, or SQL. If you work for a large company, or a government agency, you will probably work with an extensive database that your organization runs and maintains. The necessary information in this chapter will give you the basics of how these systems work.

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is one of the fastest growing areas of information technology today. Many companies and government organizations are moving large-scale systems from their own data centers, and into the cloud. What is the motivation behind this? Why would companies want to give up control of some of their vital systems, and move to the cloud? I will discuss this and many other issues related to cloud computing in this chapter.

Computer Networking

Computer networks allow systems to extend their reach and interact with other computers and users, on their local area network. If their network is connected to the Internet, then users will have access to software and services worldwide. Computer networking is a very important part of information technology. The demand for network hardware and services has exploded since the introduction of the Internet. In recent years, we have not only seen a huge growth in wired networks, but, with the worldwide adoption of cell phones, we have also seen an explosion in the growth of wireless networks.
