DS Insights Closing the Skills Gap for Software Developers

WATERLOO, Ontario - Sept. 23, 2016 - PRLog -- One of the skills not taught to students in Computer Science is how to design and develop software for a global customer base (internationalization, localization and globalization). Developers have to figure it out for themselves while still meeting aggresive deadlines or peer employees need to take time from their schedules to pass along the knowledge (if they have it). Both paths reduce employee productivity.

DS Insights Inc. is on a mission to fill the skills gap between what students are taught and what employers need them to know. DS Insights Inc. announces the first of a set of comprehensive, concise, online courses to close the skills gap for software developers.

Designing Global Software: Internationalization, localization, and globalization

If your company has customers across the world, the software you design and build needs to accommodate differences across countries. These differences go beyond simple translation of language. Countries can have different number formats, currencies, date and time formats, name conventions, and more. This course will cover the topics your developers need to know to design and build software for a global customer base.

This course is comprehensive, yet concise. It teaches developers what they need to know in the least amount of time.

This course includes examples in Java and hands-on exercises in Java, PHP, C++, C, and Python. The example code and exercises can be downloaded. Solutions to the hands-on exercises are also provided.
