The Internet has revolutionised communications in the modern world. The World Wide Web, the multimedia-orientated side of the Internet, has made possible rapid access to visual and audio information in a way previously impossible. Private and business users can now view text, images and video and hear sound in web pages and browse quickly from site to site in a truly interactive way. The market is now global and instantaneous and the medium has expanded at a phenomenal rate creating a need for skilled workers to design and maintain the ever-increasing number of web sites coming online.

Diploma in e-Business Technology (Web Development)

(36 weeks-US$ 1800)
Businesses are being forced to change in response to the rapid pace of technological advancement that has occurred over the last decade. An exciting competitive business model based on electronic business practices is evolving.

The term "e-business" refers to the process of conducting business using these new interactive technologies. e-business involves using technology to provide a basis to enhance trade "online", improve customer service and forge closer links with business partners.

The Internet as a platform and one of its major components the World-Wide-Web, has allowed e-business to thrive in the past few years. As well as numerous start-up companies with new ideas and business models, virtually all companies around the world with traditional business models have set up or are in the process of setting up their business processes on the World-Wide-Web. The possibilities are virtually endless.

As a minimum an "Intranet" could be set up on the company's internal network to deliver timely news and messages, in-house product brochures, work collaborations and online meetings. The next step could be to establish an "Internet" website. The classic use of this would be as a "static" tool delivering company information and acting as an Electronic Brochure. However, recently the usage of websites has been leveraged to the status of a "Web Application". A Web Application provides anything from an interactive product selection and description tool to a place where customers can conveniently communicate with staff to providing a full-blown virtual store (e-Commerce). The latter provides facilities for product selection (perhaps through an Auction interface), ordering, shipping terms, discounts, stock control and basic pre- and post-sales support.

For processes involving business partners an "Extranet" can be set up. This is simply an Intranet with secure access to certain areas for preferred partners. Timely information, product and services news and support can be efficiently delivered to partners. This technology has also been embraced by businesses due to massive cost saving and enhanced customer service.

These developments in the business world have resulted in a massive global skills shortage in this field. People with the right knowledge and experience in design and development of software for the web are highly sought after. This has naturally pushed out the boundaries of salaries for this type of personnel. According to analysts this shortage is set to remain for at least the next five years.

Successful students of this course therefore, will be able to take advantage of the critical skills shortage and ultimately demand high salaries. They will also have the necessary knowledge to decide on which areas they wish to concentrate and specialise in for the future.
