Web Application Architectures

3.5

Class Central TipsLearn How to Sign up to Coursera courses for free1600+ Coursera Courses That Are Still Completely FreeThis course explores the development of web application architectures from an engineering perspective.  We will consider the fundamental design patterns and philosophies associated with modern web application architectures, along with their major components.  By the end of this course, I expect you to be able to:Design, develop and deploy a modern web application.  This course is not about how to build a pretty web page, it's about how to build and deploy the full stack of protocols and technologies associated with a complete web app.  That said, it is not possible for you to become an expert in this area in a few weeks. My goal, rather, is to put you on the right path by providing a solid foundation and framework for understanding web applications, allowing you to dig deeper and learn more on your own. The next bullet points describe how we're going to do this.Understand the major architectural components in web apps, and how they fit together.  Modern web apps are complex.  A typical application has a database along with numerous scripts on one end of the web stack, a web server in the middle that delivers information over the Internet, and a user's browser on the other end of the web stack.  Even getting started in trying to understand these components can be overwhelming. Consider just the programming languages involved in a typical web stack: from the database (SQL), to the web server (scripting language), to the browser (JavaScript, HTML, CSS), we're dealing with five different programming languages, not to mention the protocols they're operating over– and you need to know a little about them too! We'll introduce a number of software design patterns throughout the course that are aimed at helping you to manage this complexity.Use Ruby on Rails.  We're going to learn about web apps through the Ruby on Rails framework. Rails is a framework for creating webapplications that is built on top of the Ruby programming language. I believe this is one of the best frameworksfor learning about web applications, and it's also proving highly successful asa platform for commercial offerings. That said, there are many other frameworks available, and the conceptsyou will learn using Rails are transferable to these other frameworks.Better understand modern software engineeringpractice.  We’ll be using the latest tools and practices insoftware development, source code control, testing, and applicationdeployment. This will include exposureto agile development practices, the numerous tools that software engineers are expected to know how to use, and the cloud-based resources that arebecoming increasingly important in web applications.      

Rural Health Nursing

Class Central TipsLearn How to Sign up to Coursera courses for free1600+ Coursera Courses That Are Still Completely FreeThe care of populations in remote and frontier areas requires an expanded understanding of the geographical elements, situational factors, and the unique issues that occur when resources are scarce, distant, or culturally inappropriate. We will identify what constitutes the definition of rural nursing, and what kinds of needs are presented by individuals and populations living in rural communities. Historical, geographical, cultural, and systems challenges to the provision of nursing care will be explored, and approaches to overcoming barriers to support the development of healthy communities in rural areas will be presented. Students will identify a rural or frontier area in which they are either currently practicing or expect to practice, and using elements from the course, design a program, policy, or intervention to address the specific health care needs of the population in that area.

Class Central TipsLearn How to Sign up to Coursera courses for free1600+ Coursera Courses That Are Still Completely FreeEl nivel de datos en una aplicación web se utiliza para proporcionar almacenamiento persistente de información. Esto es, información tal como los datos de los usuarios, blogs, información de cuentas, compras, etc. El nivel de datos se suele dividir en el componentes de acceso a datos y el componente de almacenamiento de datos en sí. En este curso nos centraremos principalmente en el almacenamiento de datos, y usted aprenderá cómo instalar sistemas de almacenamiento de datos con calidad de producción en sus aplicaciones web. El almacenamiento de datos en una aplicación web es típicamente una base de datos de tipo relacional (es decir, SQL), pero hay otros tipos de almacenamieto que van desde una base de valores de clavesa un repositorio de documentos, o una base de datos gráfica.Estos sistemas se denominan a menudo bases de datos No SQL. Básicamente, un sistema de almacenamiento de datos puede ser cualquier tecnología incluida en la aplicación web que se utiliza para recuperar y almacenar datos persistentemente a en sesiones web.En este curso aprenderá primero acerca de diagramas entidad-relación y los conceptos básicos asociados con los modelo de bases de datos relacionales, incluidos los medios canónicos de interactuar con las bases de datos relacionales mediante consultas escritas en lenguaje de SQL. Aprenderá también cómo conectar la base de datos con calidad de producción PostgreSQL a una aplicación web. A continuación vamos a cubrir los aspectos deacceso a datos, es decir, el mapeo a objetos relacionales. Esto se utiliza para convertir datos entre sistemas incompatibles. Nuestro caso sera el de los diferentes modelos de datos orientados a objetos en una aplicación web y una base de datos relacional. Usted aprenderá cómo se utiliza el patrón de diseño activo de registro para resolver este problema de mapeo objeto-relacional, y lo usará en una aplicación web. Finalmente, aprenderá cómo conectar una serie de bases de datos NoSQL a una aplicación web, incluyendo bases de datos NoSQL desplegados en forma de servicios en la nube.

Web Application Development: The Data Tier

0

Class Central TipsLearn How to Sign up to Coursera courses for free1600+ Coursera Courses That Are Still Completely FreeThe data tier in a web application is used to provide persistent data storage of information, that is, information such as user data, blog posts, account information, orders, etc. The data tier is typically divided into data access components, and the data store itself. In this course we will focus primarily on the data store, and you will learn how to attach production-quality data stores to your web applications.The data store in a web application is typically a relational (i.e., SQL) database, but it could be many other things: ranging from a key-value store, to a document store, to a graph database (these are often referred to as NoSQL databases).Basically, a data store can be any technology the web application uses to retrieve and store data persistently across web sessions.In this course you will first learn about entity-relationship diagrams and the basic concepts associated with the relational database model, including the canonical means of interacting with relational databases using queries written in Structured Query Language (SQL). You will learn how to connect the production-quality PostgreSQL database to a web application.Next we will cover a data access topic, namely object-relational mapping. This is used to convert data between incompatible type systems, in our case, between object-oriented data models in a web application and a relational database.You will learn how the Active Record Design Pattern is used to solve the object-relational mapping problem, and you will use it in a web application.Finally, you will learn how to connect a number of NoSQL databases to a web application, including NoSQL databases deployed as cloud services.

Web Application Development: Testing and Deployment

0

Class Central TipsLearn How to Sign up to Coursera courses for free1600+ Coursera Courses That Are Still Completely FreeModern web applications are complex systems that are often deployed across multiple servers in a network. The complexity of these systems, along with the human nature to introduce faults in software, makes automated testing and deployment essential. Testing is used to ensure that software under development or maintenance is correct, and may include functionality testing, usability testing, interface testing, compatibility testing, performance testing and security testing. The ability to automatically deploy a web application in a production environment also eliminates the human mistakes that occur when manually deploying the various pieces of a web application. In this course you will learn how automated testing and deployment supports agile software methodologies, where web applications are often updated and deployed on a daily basis. You will first learn about the various types of software tests, and then we will consider a number of the testing frameworks that are available for web applications. As a part of this, you will learn about test-driven and behavior-driven development, and how to use them in a Rails environment. In particular, you will learn how to use the popular RSpec framework in your web applications. In addition, you will learn how to use factories and populators to create realistic data that can be used to test web applications. Finally, you will learn about automated deployment tools such as Puppet, Chef and Capistrano, and you will use these tools in order to deploy a web application in the cloud.

Web Application Development: Security

0

Class Central TipsLearn How to Sign up to Coursera courses for free1600+ Coursera Courses That Are Still Completely FreeOne of the primary concerns for both the developers and users of web applications is security.With the increase in information sharing due to social networking and the massive adoption of the web as a means of conducting business and delivering services, web applications have become prime targets for malicious hackers to exploit. Given the value of “web properties,” the ability to protect these assets from malicious exploits has become a required tool in the software engineer’s tool belt.In this course you will learn the most fundamental application-level security concepts. In addition, you will learn about the basic building blocks of security—encryption and cryptographic systems—along with how these can be used to build a sound user authentication system. More importantly, you will be able to use this knowledge to evaluate off-the-shelf authentication packages, and better understand the options they provide. You will learn about the SSL/HTTPS protocols, and how to enable them in your web applications to support encrypted communication between the browser and web server. You will also learn how to use authorization and access control in your web applications in order to ensure that users are only able to access the data they are entitled to view. Next, we will cover the most important types of attacks that your web applications will be exposed to, and we will describe how to guard against them.
