Information Management

Information Management (IM) is primarily concerned with the representation, organization, and presentation of information. This includes methods for efficient access and update of data, data modelling and abstraction, and file storage techniques. Topics covered include relational database concepts, query languages, ACID properties, indexing and transaction processing. Recent developments in distributed databases, semi-structured and non-relational key-value and flexible model databases will also be explored. Practical aspects of database design and programming will be done using a combination of PHP and MySQL.
