Overview

The workshop divides design into Preliminary Design, External Design and Internal Design. Preliminary Design accomplishes the transition from analy-sis and determines the technical architec-ture of the system. It also decides what processes and data will reside on which processors. External Design is design from the viewpoint of the user. It defines dialogue flow and provides screen and report design. Internal Design is design from the viewpoint of the builder. It op-timizes the data, structures the logic and defines interfaces.It uses the same case study as BAA. You complete the course with experi-ence in design.The workshop provides a full dis-cussion of logical data base design. You will learn how to apply safe and aggres-sive trade-offs for optimizing the data. Safe trade-offs optimize the data without compromising integrity and redundancy. Aggressive trade-offs optimize the data while providing some compromise of integrity or redundancy.

Audience

  • Designers
  • CASE specialists
  • Data Analysts
  • Systems Analysts
  • Programmers
  • Data/Database Administrators

Skills Gained

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to understand:

  • A step by step way to do design
  • The use of analysis results in design
  • How to do a design that meets business requirements
  • How to optimize (de-normalize) data
  • How to design code that conforms to the latest design principles
  • How to use task analysis to design screen flow
  • How to design screens and reports
  • How and when to prototype
  • The different forms of prototyping
  • What design must deliver to implementation

Prerequisites

To get the most out of design, it is advis-able that you have an understanding of analysis. This can be achieved by attend-ing our BAA workshop or having equivalent experience. Duration 4 days

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.

Submit an enquiry from any page on this site, and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
