Learners will collaborate to manage, analyze, and communicate information to various audiences across different channels. This collaboration will involve active listening, networking, and persuasion strategies in an information technology context.
This course covers common Information Technology concepts. Students will learn how an operating system interacts with system software and applications. Students will be introduced to computer hardware and networking components. They will also learn foundational software development, database, and cybersecurity concepts.
This course explores Database Management Systems. Students will learn to write Structured Query Language (SQL) using both Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Manipulation Language (DML). Students will develop and read Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD) used to graphically represent the database. Lastly, the levels of Database Table Normalization will be covered.
This course is designed to offer students an introduction to the Internet and programming Web applications. Students will create properly structured and valid Web pages using HTML5 & CSS with embedded JavaScript (using ES6 as a base) for data validation and user interaction. Javascript will also be used to access, and manipulate, simple JSON files and dynamically add the data contained in JSON to an HTML page. A course-ending project will have students plan, create and upload their own websites to the Web.
This course is a basic introduction to programming using the Java programming language. Students will develop, code, test, and debug programs for simple applications using proper programming principles and documentation. Topics include data types, variable declarations, control structures, methods, classes, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, arrays, and other data structures.
Study the fundamental aspects and principles of project management including life cycle, integration, planning, organization and communication. Learn about work breakdown structures, diagramming, cost management and resource allocation. Examine issues affecting project management including risk management, quality, conflict, and team building. You will become familiar with the different agile methodologies, tools and techniques, compose agile documentation deliverables, and create agile release, iteration, and/or daily plans. You will learn how to manage customer expectations, collaborate, and consistently ensure products are providing business value. Learn how to monitor team performance, conduct lessons learned, and perform continuous improvements for subsequent iterations.
You will be introduced to the fundamentals of Object-Oriented Systems Analysis and full stack web application development design using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). You will be implementing UML diagrams in modelling software as it relates to web applications. The Analysis portion deals with basic OO concepts, capturing requirements with use cases, identifying classes, and modeling dynamic object behavior. The Design portion refines the analysis models with design (implementation) decisions, introduces patterns and examines the persistence of objects to relational databases. The Systems Development Life Cycle adopted for purposes of this course is defined as the USDP (Unified Software Development Process)
Gain the skills needed to be obtain and document effective full stack web application development business requirements and create a design related to full stack web development. Enhance your ability to interview clients, improve business processes, problem-solve, work as part of a team and lead effective meetings. This course will also enhance your skills in designing a web application based on documented requirements.
This course builds on skills learned in the Web Development 1 course. Students will also learn to employ technologies that run on a web server to create rich and dynamic websites. Topics covered include creating dynamic web pages generated from data stored in a database, validating data submitted to the server from a web form and saving that data in a database, as well as maintaining session cookies to provide data persistence to clients accessing the website. The PHP scripting language and the MySQL relational database management system are used to learn server-side web development techniques. Javascript will also be used to add dynamic client-side updates to the webpages being developed.
