DESCRIPTION
- The Computer Programming and Applications Analysis program is
designed to prepare students for entry-level program development and
analysis in the computer environment. The core courses provide
introduction to the computer, applications used on the
microcomputer, and training in programming language procedural logic
and design. The computer languages are introduced in a progressive
delivery starting with structured programming (sequential,
iteration, and decision making) used in procedural language, and
then progressing to object oriented language and visual language.
Students currently employed in the field can supplement and upgrade
their skills through a variety of offerings in programming
languages, system analysis and applications.
The Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD) option develops
the skills necessary to successfully design, implement, and
administer business solutions with Microsoft products. Students
preparing for this certification will take courses in the following
areas: 1) desktop applications development using Visual C++, Visual
FoxPro, and Visual Basic; 2) distributed applications development
using Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Visual FoxPro, 3) architecture,
and 4) choose elective courses in Visual Basic for Applications,
Microsoft Outlook, SQL Server, and Visual InterDev. The exact
curricula will be driven by the latest requirements as specified by
Microsoft (consult Microsoft's website for current list of
requirements). In addition, the release of Microsoft's .NET line of
products will result in new requirements and courses.
