Foundation Year in Computing

Sep 2015 - Aug 2016

Goldsmiths, University of London

Teaching on this programme was strongly focused on practical work in real world situations. I began by creating simple software programs, before gradually building expertise that prepared me for undergraduate study. The practical work was underpinned by theory ranging from problem-solving strategies to professional software development models.

Development Experience

Portfolio Project #1: “Gazetteer”

The specification was to reply to a website specification for a map-based app to provide information on countries – with a focus on a “mobile-first” development. Preferably using a framework, to then develop HTML, CSS and JavaScript with JQuery modules that use PHP server-based components to source data from third-party APIs (Geonames, OpenWeather). The solution is assessed on its delivery to specification, functionality, and usability.

Portfolio Project #2: “Company Directory”

A more rigorous reply to this specification was required as a user requirements document was needed to be prepared which, when signed off, triggers the release of SQL allowing to develop a “mobile-first” application to maintain a company personnel database (MySQL). Sign off is only achieved upon the student supplying an independently witnessed document providing confirmation of the system’s ability to perform error-free.
