FAQs
ILX’s Web & Application Server courses teach you the critical skills needed to run secure, efficient server environments using platforms like Apache, Docker, JBoss and Tomcat. Ideal for IT professionals who need to manage complex server and application environments.
What’s the difference between a web server and an application server?
A web server responds to requests for static files such as HTML, images and style sheets. In contrast, an application server executes dynamic code to deliver interactive features and manage backend processes. When used together, they form the backbone of modern websites and enterprise applications, enabling efficient content delivery and complex system functionality.
Do I need programming experience to take these web server courses?
Some familiarity with programming or scripting—such as Java, PHP, or shell—can be helpful, particularly for courses like Tomcat and JBoss where understanding application behaviour can aid troubleshooting and deployment. However, programming experience is not a prerequisite. These web server courses are designed primarily around system administration, focusing on installation, configuration, performance tuning, and integration. You’ll gain practical, hands-on experience managing web and application servers, so a basic understanding of Linux commands and general IT infrastructure will be more beneficial than coding expertise. Support is provided throughout to guide learners at all levels.
How quickly can I use these skills in my job?
You’ll be ready to apply what you’ve learned straight away. ILX’s Web Application Server courses are designed around real-world business scenarios, so you’re not just absorbing theory - you’re actively building the skills you’ll use in the workplace.
Through live virtual classrooms and interactive live labs, you’ll get hands-on with server configuration, application deployment and troubleshooting tasks. This experience-led approach ensures you leave the course with the confidence and capability to contribute to live environments and make immediate technical improvements in your role.
Can I use these courses to help prepare for certification exams?
Yes. The JBoss course aligns with Red Hat’s JBoss Administrator certification (RHCJA). While exams are not included, the training follows relevant standards and includes the technical foundations needed for preparation.
Can I get help choosing the right course?
Yes. If you're unsure where to start, our learning advisors are here to help. Whether you’re transitioning into a new area like DevOps, expanding your system administration skills, or need to meet specific job requirements, we’ll guide you towards the Web & Application Server course that fits best.
