Course Details

Client-Side Web Development provides experience developing websites using current standards and technologies. Students will be exposed to modern scripting and the Document Object Model (DOM) of web pages. Students will create functional websites, making them interactive and dynamic.

This course introduces students to the necessity of version control in software development. During this course, students will use GitHub to control the source of their coding projects and manage versions of their software during development.

In Computer Programming, students will use critical thinking, and problem-solving skills as they practice basic programming constructs including selection, repetition, classes and methods, string processing, and array structures. Students will be introduced to version control on their code projects.

In this course, students will explore the Software Development Life Cycle. Students will test code, practice searching, sorting, building data structures, using generic objects and collections, and asynchronous processing. Students will be exposed to modern project management styles.

Database Development provides students a fundamental introduction to database concepts and query languages used in database management systems. Students will design and implement simple databases, and utilize queries to retrieve, store, and update data in these databases.

Server-side programming explores delivering a customized user experience. This course combines the skills of programming, client-side development, and relational database management to create and manage dynamic web-based content. Students will be exposed to using, creating, and testing web APIs.

This course introduces students to programming technologies, design and development related to mobile applications. Topics include accessing device capabilities, industry standards, operating systems, and programming for mobile applications. Students will work on multiple projects producing professional-quality mobile applications.

Job Seeking Skills explores how to prepare and successfully apply to potential career opportunities. During this course, you will be presented with essential job-seeking skills for gainful employment.

The capstone course allows students to demonstrate how the knowledge and skills learned through the Software Development program can be applied to solving real-world business problems. Individually or in a small group, students will find a real-world business problem to solve. Students will research and understand the business case. Creating a scope for the project and setting the timeline for the deliverables. Then develop the solution according to the plan. At the completion of the project, the individual or team will present their capstone project to the Software Development class.

This course provides an opportunity for Software Development students to gain professional exposure to the technologies learned in the program through internship, externship, or job-shadowing, as determined by employer-college relationships.

This course provides students the opportunity to continue their learning in a specific area, explore an area which is not currently available as part of their current training plan, or otherwise not covered by the ongoing Software Development program course offerings. Coursework will consist of instructional activity and/or a significant professional project that is logically consistent with the content of the student’s program of study or a special project guided and evaluated by a member of the Software Development faculty.
