 We talk about the introduction of this course and in this module I will be talking about the topics covered, the books, the web resources, why this course, what is the approach of this course and about the instructor. So as you can see on your screen right now that there are quite a few topics over here and I will be covering the intro of all those topics in the subsequent modules and of course you are welcome to ask questions also. So you see that this is the division of all those topics and we have the search engine optimization over here. We also have the Amazon web services and I will also cover how and when to make the process of small businesses e-commerce websites on the internet. And you see now this is the breakdown of this course and you can see that quite a few modules are there on the introduction to the course. Then of course there are modules on the rapid application development, there are modules on the Amazon web services and when you have made all those wonderful things which is your web based database application, how to bring the visitors, how to bring the traffic to your web application source so that for this we need the search engine optimization. So I will cover this, how to bring the traffic to your website, how to bring customers so that those customers are converted into profit. Now these are the main textbooks which I will be covering in this course. The thing is that it is a very diverse course and it is a multi dimensional course, it is multi technology course and therefore it is very difficult to find a single book which covers all the topics which are translated into the modules. So these are some of the books, actually all of the books which I will be covering and within these books I will be covering some of the topics which are relevant for that particular book and you will be able to find most of these books on the internet. You can get those books and start reading and those topics which are covered. Now this is the list of the URLs, the web resources which are there which I will be covering and of course you can download these material, you can go through it, some of this is in PDF, some may not be in the PDF but in the course outline which is with you it is listed that which part of the material will be covering or will be coming from which part of the resource. So these are the reference materials which we will be showing. Now I just want to assure you that you are in safe hands and your instructor is quite qualified professionally and academically also and your instructor as a matter of fact have done lot of work in this area and the job portal of your instructor was regarded and which was ranked as the number one nationally competing against professional software houses. So I have the requisite academic background and I have the requisite professional background to add to your professional life, to add value to your career so you are in safe hands. Now why this course? The reason being that the world has evolved tremendously during the last couple of decades and there has been a large proliferation of the web based applications which are on the desktop and on the mobile phones also and web is global, web is everywhere and that global nature of the web makes you marketable globally, that's your market, your market is everywhere, it's not in a certain country, it's global market. Now when you are global it is not only e-commerce, there is information also, the products also, there are services also and you yourself is a product. So the approach of this course is to make yourself, to make your product, to make your service marketable globally so that you have the potential customers which are all along. Now let's look at some numbers, if you look at these numbers over here, there is a huge market of let's look at food in the UAE is 82% increase, is a tremendous increase. Now this is not about the companies which are making food items but the companies who are delivering food items, is a tremendous market. Now the thing is that you need to have web applications which have a backend database so that a customer can come to your web application to your website and make an order, make a selection and the more convenient it is for the customer, the more potential you have as a professional IT professional. The approach of this course, now the approach of this course is a hands on approach, the approach is not to look at dashboards and look at results but to get open the hood and get your hands dirty and use the tools to fix the things, to develop the things and of course as you make things, as you develop things, you will make some mistakes. That is fine because every mistake is a lesson so we as we proceed in this course I will tell you how to do things and you will make mistakes and we will do the coding also and you will see the results and it's a tremendous happiness when you see the results of your work coming in front of you. The approach of this course is a problem solving approach so I will identify the problem in front of you, I will tell you about the problem and then I will give you the background about the problem that what goes behind and what will come front and then I will give you a solution about the problem, we will discuss the solution, we will work on the solution and of course then you will know that this course has added value to your professional career and what will be coming in the subsequent modules is a brief introduction about the different topics which will be covered and that's about it.
