Engineering
Perfect for Getting into the Nuts and Bolts of SOLID
Built for you
Want to know how SOLID works under the covers? Then these are the courses for you. They cover customisation and application settings for QAs, Developers and Architects alike (in addition to exploring approaches for maximising application performance).
Any of the courses listed below can be taken as a single course or as part of a bigger training series.
