Certified ScrumDeveloper® (CSD)

DESCRIPTION

This immersive, forty-hour training program contains a set of three comprehensive courses that provides the knowledge and skill to become a successful Scrum developer and a valuable member of a Scrum development team.

In our first course, Scrum Framework Developer Essentials, we’ll explore Scrum Framework and how it supports faster and simpler software development. In Design Pattern Developer Essentials, we’ll discover a core set of design patterns that every developer should know. The program concludes with the popular Scrum Software Developer Essentials course, in which you’ll learn how to write higher quality code more quickly and with fewer defects using practices from Extreme Programming (XP) that include test-first development, refactoring, and emergent design, as well as a variety of Agile problem-solving techniques.

You’ll be taken on a guided tour through essential developer practices, such as story writing, sprint planning, pair programming and test driven development. You’ll learn how to discover patterns in problems and to implement designs as needed.

Well also explore the principles behind the practices so you understand how to use them to make the best design choices, and you’ll gain a powerful framework for encapsulating and abstracting virtually any problem for maximum flexibility, without over complicating the solution.

By exploring the secrets of high-performance, cross-functional development teams you’ll gain a shared design vocabulary for dramatically improving inter-team communication that can be applied equally well to new development and to maintaining or extending existing systems. Then we’ll put theory into practice and apply your new skills by building the core of an application using the expert-level techniques you learned for rapidly writing quality software.

By the end of this training program you’ll be armed with several new, effective tools and techniques for Scrum development that will make your software more robust, manageable, and easier to extend.
