Wessex Apps Ltd is looking to take on graduate computing students to help them move forward with their technological capabilities. They primarily use Python with the Flask framework for server-side development and their own bespoke mix of HTML, CSS and JavaScript for client-side work. They use a simple text editor to develop with and source code is stored on GitHub and Development is done on in house servers. Apps are deployed to dedicated hosted servers at their ISP, in some cases this is done using Travis CI to build and run tests before deployment. They develop, run and maintain a range of apps for clients including public facing websites, data analysis apps, company intranets, HR and payroll systems. Some of their client’s use MS Office 365 and have been asking for interoperability between their O365 apps and the developer’s apps. Wessex Apps Ltd is thinking about moving their apps over to cloud computing and wants applicants for the graduate positions to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in cloud centric technologies in one of two ways : THE BUILD!
-
Evaluate architectural models relevant to the development of enterprise applications. a. Example: System Overview document showing main structures and processes plus the rationale for choosing architecture/technology stack etc.
-
Select and apply programming design patterns relevant to a particular application. a. Example: Use of models in app (built or built-in) e.g. Horizontal Scaling Compute Pattern, Queue—centric, Eventual Consistency etc.
-
Elucidate and evaluate factors relevant to the security of enterprise applications. a. Example: Sophistication/appropriateness of implemented Security e.g. basic authorization vs OAuth
-
Elucidate and evaluate factors relevant to interoperability in enteprise applications. a. Example: Appropriate use of services - internal (e.g. datastore) and external (e.g. Trello API).
-
Evaluate software tools used to support the development of enteprise applications. a. Example: Sophistication/appropriateness of used toolset e.g. GitHub vs Dropbox, CB/CI, evidence of part of a community etc.
