OutSystems Development Consolidation
The OutSystems Development Consolidation module follows a hands-on approach simulating a project implementation, complemented with Master Classes.
The project follows an Agile approach, with SCRUM meetings and weekly demos. The requirements are carefully tailored so Team members practice the knowledge obtained in the first week and master the OutSystems Core features and common patterns. It is also designed to have some user stories geared towards a Mobile experience and others towards the Desktop. During this period, Team members will be working in small teams.
The Master Classes have the goal of teaching other competences which are not covered in the initial module, like Architecture, Best Practices, Silk UI, Integrations and Usability.
Master Classes – OutSystems Development:
● Architecture Basics
● Development + Performance Best Practices
● The Silk UI Basics
● Asynchronous processing
● Extensions & Integration
● Multi-language
Master Class – Usability:
● What’s Usability
● Usability Rules
