1) BIMS (Business Information Management System): this is a complete new development from the ground up. It includes our own BIMS Framework i.e. our framework for application development; and a commercial application in that framework (a vehicle fleet management system). This project exposed to student to our use of the following technologies:
• Github: for version control. A crucial tool for teams of developers working on the same project, in order their code changes do not clash; and a long -term record of all changes made, with reasons for those changes.
• Oracle MySQL: back-end relational database for storage & processing of application data. Omer designed several tables and wrote several stored procedures for the storage, retrieval and processing of relational data.
• Microsoft Access: front-end screens for user input to the above. Omer designed and developed several such screens, based on the template screens previously developed within the BIMS framework.
2) UKAY Fuels: this is a legacy system which requires continual ongoing support. This project exposed to student to the following:
• Microsoft SQL: back-end relational database for storage & processing of application data. The student worked on the maintenance / enhancement of an existing stored procedure.
