Modernizing Software
Software is constantly ageing. It ages not only because the technology is constantly evolving, but also because the business environment and thus the demands on the software usually change faster than the software can be further developed. On the other hand, it must be recognised that software has made the company's success possible in the first place.
This training shows tried and tested procedures for modernising existing legacy software. This includes finding out what is particularly important and deciding objectively whether the effort for a measure is worthwhile at all. You will learn both proven approaches to revise existing software and approaches to supplement it with new software, possibly even to replace it completely in the long term.
- You can analyse the entrepreneurial and economic context of software
- You master working techniques to modernise existing code
- You know concrete procedures to improve legacy software step by step
Developers and maintainers of existing systems who spend too much time maintaining legacy software and want to implement changes and enhancements more quickly in the future.
Attendees should have at least 1-2 years of experience programming with PHP or a similar programming language. They should have experience with procedural and object-oriented programming and be confident in using an IDE and common development tools such as the version control Git.
