From idea to digital solution

1. 01

   Full stack: the parts of a solution

   The interface is what people use. The logic applies the rules. The data layer stores the information.

2. 02

   Building with AI

   Turn a need into requirements and guide the build in small steps.

3. 03

   Docker: an organised environment

   A way to package an application and the components needed to run it.

4. 04

   VPS and deployment

   A server is where an application runs. Deployment puts a version there so people can use it.

5. 05

   DNS and HTTPS

   DNS points an address to where a service lives. HTTPS protects the connection while people use it.

You learn to guide how a solution gets built and to talk about its parts with confidence. The focus is on linking what users need to how the solution works and how it goes live.

• Describe a problem and the core function of a solution.
• Recognise the interface, logic and data in an application.
• Explain the basic steps between prototype and deployment.

1. Choose a problem and define the smallest useful solution.
2. Sketch the screen and describe the required rules and data.
3. Build and test a simple version in a guided lab.

Fill in the blanks with your own work. This is the deliverable you take out of the module.

Scope worksheet; screen and data map; testing and deployment checklist.

Planned for the classes of this module.

L01 to L03 and B02, or equivalent practice. The lab uses technical tools with guidance.
