Program Content / Objectives

The Web Programming Services program trains students to develop dynamic Web applications. Using current industry-standard software products, students practice the skills necessary to obtain entry-level positions as Web developers.

Curriculum topics include: HTML and XHTML hand coding; Cascading Style Sheets (CSS); Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004; JavaScript programming; database design fundamentals; Oracle9i: SQL; Oracle9i: PL/SQL; Visual Basic .NET and ASP.NET Web programming.

Virtually all activities are hands-on. Over the course of the program, each student completes a number of programming projects that serve as a portfolio of work that may be presented to prospective employers.

Through a partnership with Oracle Corporation, portions of the program utilize Oracle database software and curriculum to teach database concepts. Students who complete this section of the program will be prepared to take two certification exams: Exam #1Z0-007, Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL, Exam #1Z0-147, Oracle9i: Program with PL/SQL. Students who pass both exams will be awarded the Oracle9i PL/SQL Developer “Oracle Certified Associate” (OCA) credential.

Specific Program Entrance Recommendations - This course assumes no prior programming background. However, students should have a strong background in basic mathematics and mathematical reasoning and should be able to apply logical thinking to problem solving. In addition, successful students will generally have excellent reading comprehension skills, as this program (as well as this profession) requires the student to read, understand, and synthesize a large volume of technical information.
