Each week we will work on incrementally developing a design for a complete enterprise system. Enterprise systems are often developed in layers with each layer being independently developed and tested before integration into the full system.

You will keep your work in your own git hub repository and incrementally add to this software as your design is developed.

In each class we will have a brief lecture and demonstration followed by a set of exercises to help you apply the technology or technique which has been introduced.

Once we have learnt a technology, we will begin to use it to develop a layer of our proposed system. Ultimately we will have a fully working enterprise App.
