Læringsutbytte

This course is organized as a series of lectures and seminars where students present and discuss core concepts and topics in the literature. Guest lectures will be held on chosen topics. There will be visits to, for example, public institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and rehabilitation centres. Each student works on a project assignment on a topic from the curriculum, and will have their work peer reviewed by two fellow students.

Innhold

The beginning of the course will focus of familiarizing oneself with the technologies used in building and delivering high-volume services. This will include containers and similar technologies, load balancing, automated testing and revision control systems. The students will put these technologies to the test in exercises in our lab environment.

All of the presented topics are relevant for the project which the students will work on and are continuously revised to be close to current industry practices. The focus is on providing an essence of each topic, which allows the student to get a large overview of the state-of-the-art of modern service delivery. The projects allow students to go deeper on a select set of technologies from the initial overview and apply them on a specific case.
