CNM Website Developer
A CNM Website Developer (hereinafter, the Dev) is an incumbent of the introductory-quarter CNM practice job (hereinafter, the Practice) that The Economic Group has developed to practically introduce CNM learners to website development. The Devs generally practice in website projects undertaken to develop CNMCyber websites, including their contents, designs, information architectures, SEO, software, and WWW records. The Devs may develop either:
- Those CNMCyber websites and other CNMCyber products that the Devs are able to produce, or
- Those requirements that would allow hiring Careerprise contractors to develop those CNMCyber websites that the Devs don't produce directly, on their own.
The Practice belongs to CNMCyber Bootcamp (hereinafter, the Bootcamp), which first quarter's lessons are designed to prepare the Devs to that Practice. The Practice is offered to those enrolled in the Bootcamp who successfully pass CNM Website Development Exam after taking the first quarter's classes. Successful completion of the website development practice qualifies the Residents as Certified Website Development Associates.
Position
The Devs undertake website projects in order to develop CNMCyber websites. To learn about benefits, competencies, history, supervision, and target audiences, please consult the CNM practice job wikipage.
Choice of practice
- By default, the Devs choose Projects that suit them best. The Devs can choose between:
- Authorized projects that CNMCyber Customer authorized for funding. Any Dev is welcome to pick any project that he or she would like to practice with.
- Their own projects for which they can request CNMCyber Customer's authorization.
- In addition, the Devs may be offered to develop CNMCyber products other than CNMCyber websites. CNM Cyber Project Managers may ask a Dev to take an urgent or specific project when they understand the Dev's professional capacity. Particularly, that means that the Devs have to choose their first project at least.
How to start
- Are you interested in getting started as the Dev? Please follow a step-by-step instruction as follows:
- Until the first quarter lessons of the Bootcamp are developed, read (a) this very wikipage since it describes your website development practice overall, (b) the CNMCyber website wikipage since it describes the websites you are about to develop, (c) website project wikipage since it describes those projects that could be undertaken to develop websites overall, and (d) CNM Website Projects wikipage since it describes those projects that are authorized to practice with. Those wikipage contents are neither intuitive nor user-friendly yet; however, if you cannot read them, you cannot work.
- Ask questions. Questions are a huge part of your work; if you cannot ask, you cannot work. If you prefer videoconferences, attend any CNMCyber This Week event. You will have opportunities to ask questions and get responses in real time.
- Study this wikipage to be ready to discuss two topics: (a) what paragraph is intentionally left unclear and (b) what section can be taken out without big harm. You will be offered to discuss those topics during your job interview. Why? If you don't know your job, you cannot work.
- Understand why the Cyber project is undertaken and what value is expected from the Dev. That's simple. If you cannot deliver what the Customer pays for, you cannot work. Everything that the Customer pays for is stated on this very wikipage.
- Wait for 2-3 months if you cannot understand what your objectives are. There is a chance that the course and/or videos will be developed out of this wikipage during that time. The introductory courses will be available at https://cert.cnmcyber.com after registering at https://opplet.net/user/register ; the videos will be published on CNM Tube and YouTube. Some of course wiki-materials are linked to WorldOpp Orientation, Employableu Foundation, and CNMCyber Bootcamp wikipages
- Pick up your first endeavor at the CNM Cloud Usable wikipage when you understand what your objectives are. You may have no idea what that particular endeavor is about. First of all, no endeavor is fully clear and, secondly, to learn about one endeavor is always simpler that to learn about many. When you really studied this very wikipage, you should know how to go about that endeavor. If you cannot pick your project, you cannot start working as the Dev.
- Contact the Customer while stating (a) the effort you picked, (b) what you plan to deliver, and (c) how much time you expect to work in order to deliver what you plan to deliver.
- By the way, you can be paid to ask questions about this wikipage when you identify the endeavor behind that page.
Occupations
- The Dev's Practice touches many occupations. They may include one or more of the following:
- Architecture and design such as Human Factors Engineers and Ergonomists, Information Architects, as well as Web and Digital Interface Designers as long as the Devs design website contents, interfaces, and structures.
- Content creation such as Producers and Directors, Proofreaders and Copy Markers, as well as Writers and Authors as long as the Devs create website contents such as graphics, multimedia, and texts.

Tools
What Devs produce
To develop CNMCyber websites, the Devs produce five categories of their first-level results. They are (1) Public contents, (2) SEO efforts, (c) Website designs, (d) WWW records, and, finally, (e) System-based websites. For the Devs, those results represent measurable outputs of the Practice.
Public contents
- For the purposes of this very wikipage, public contents refer to those audiovisuals, graphics, and texts that the website visitors shall be able to read, see, and/or hear. As work products of the Devs, texts shall be published at CNM Wiki, while audiovisuals and graphics shall be stored at CNM Repo.
SEO efforts
- For the purposes of this very wikipage, SEO efforts refer to those action plans that shall improve website's search engine optimization (SEO). As work products of the Devs, action plans shall be published at CNM Wiki.
Website designs
- For the purposes of this very wikipage, website designs refer to those depictions that represent current or future website's appearance, including single webpages and website IAs overall. As work products of the Devs, final depictions shall be stored at CNM Repo; their thumbs and sketches may emerge at CNM Wiki.
WWW records
- For the purposes of this very wikipage, WWW records refer to those scripts of DNS record and lines of webserver code that are necessary for the website to be accessible on the World Wide Web (WWW). As work products of the Devs, scripts and lines shall be published at CNM Wiki.
System-based websites

The websites may represent prototypes, minimal viable products (MVPs), or marketables. As work products of the Devs, websites shall be hosted at CNM Cloud.
Projects
For the purposes of this very wikipage, projects refer to those website projects that are undertaken to create new CNMCyber websites or new features of existing websites. While working on projects, the Devs are engaged in the What Devs do activities.
Authorized projects
- Those Projects that are authorized to practice with are listed on the CNM Website Projects wikipage.
DREPD patterns
- Main wikipage: DREPD
- Although no single straightforward pattern of project advancement exists, some patterns can be found in various developments. As an example, letters in the DREPD pattern represent five phrases:
- D for "discover the wills".
- R for "research the grounds".
- E for "envision the deliverable".
- P for "plan the production".
- D for "do what is planned, detect what hasn't been expected, and discover new wills". This discovery is supposed to start a new cycle; new data shall emerge while doing and/or after getting something done.
- This pattern can be found in the whole development, in every group of processes, every process and every part of processes where ever anything new is or is going to be developed.
Project documents
- At CNM Wiki, Projects are documented using two types of wikipages:
- The progress on particular projects is reported on the CNM Website Projects wikipage.
- Project pages document everything, but progress reports. Those pages are listed at the "CNM website projects" category and include project documents such as project charter, asset register, competency register, stakeholder register, requirements traceability matrix, project scope baseline, project schedule baseline, project cost baseline, and acceptance criteria.
Project variety
- Main wikipage: Website project
- The website project wikipage presents a general, not specific to the Cyber, variety of website development endeavors.
