Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to successfully develop and integrate social networking code into new and existing websites.
It applies to individuals working as web developers who apply a wide range of knowledge and skills across a range of general information and communications technology (ICT) environments and support small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that require broader, rather than more specialised, ICT support.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
