“If you want to make a promotion, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken and written word” (P. Drucker). This cours will jumpstart your career by teaching you software quality through an analogy, which aids understanding no matter your background.

Whether you’re new web application security or or want to refresh your memory, this course has short videos that are easy to understand and require not prerequisite knowledge!

– Anyone who wants to understand the OWASP top 10 within a short amount of time, without beging bothered with technical details.
– Product Owners that care about their product
– (Project) managers that lead software projects
– Software architects that want to explain the foundational concepts of software engineering 
– Software engineers that want to advance their career, because a good understanding of the foundation and being able to communicate that is part of every new assignment! 
– SCRUM master that need to understand and know how to communicate foundational knowledge
– Quality / Audit managers that need to understand that clean code is more important than polished documents
– Contract managers that need to demand quality from their vendor. Quality is no coincidence!
– Recruiters that want to challenge software engineers

After following this course you’ll be like a general practitioner (GP). That person needs to know quite a bit about the human body. To assess the health of a human ‘system’ the GP uses key performance indicators (KPI’s), such as: heartbeat and temperature. These KPI’s enable the GP to quickly determine whether and what kind of follow up action is necessary. After following this course you’ll understand the KPI’s that can assess the health of a software system.

Herewith some of the learning objectives you can expect after following this course:

– Manage technical debt of your web application
– Assess software architecture with 8 software metrics
– Architectural assessment (module coupling, component balance and component independence)
– How to reduce errors in production (higher software software quality leads to less errors)
– Improve time-to-market compared to your competitors
– How to reduce developer turnover by improving software quality

True, let me explain by giving you an overview of my experience:
– Parttime PhD researcher. I read the science, you’ll get the knowledge! What more do you want? 
– (Chief) Information Security Officer.  Responsible for implementing and maintaining a well balanced organisational risk posture;
– Software consultant (6,5 years). I’ve advised many managers of large / small IT projects on various software related aspects. 
– Unlike most other courses, you may actually claim 1 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) after finishing this course completely

Besides that I hold several certifications:
– CISSP which stands for Certified Information Systems Security Professional
– CSSLP which stands for Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional
– CISA stands for Certified Information Systems Auditor
– CIPP/E stands for Certified Information Privacy Professional / Europe

All four certifications are vendor-neutral certification programs. 

The course is made available online and you can log on to it and watch the videos, just like any other service. 

The webinar will be published on YouTube.

This courses is created such that everybody can follow it. Prerequisites are:
– Pen and paper to take notes
– Willingness to play with presented content

The prerequisite knowledge is explained with four videos.

Software quality is explained conceptually (through analogy’s), since the implementation may differ per programming language. Therefore, having a general understanding of the quality concepts, its implications and potential solutions will provide you with the essential knowledge to identify, prevent and mitigate technical debt. Hence, no software engineering knowledge is needed.

While online learning may not be for everyone, this course comes with an exclusive webinar for you to ask your most pressing questions or just to follow Q&A asked by the community!

Sure! Scroll up and you will find a sneak preview video on this page. Watch these videos for free. Like me teaching style, do not hesitate to enrol and take control of your first impressions!
