Description:

The Computer Programming (CP) program follows an experiential learning approach to education by offering courses that parallel the software development practices used in the modern workplace. Throughout the program CP students apply concepts learned in the classroom to solve programming problems. They learn to work in project teams, in which they design, develop, and test applications.

The CP program is a two-year program in which students learn a wide variety of skills, ranging from basic programming practices, problem-solving, software design, critical thinking and application development. Over the duration of the program, students will learn to write programs for desktop and web. Students learn many programming languages, including C#, C++, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and Java, and are taught the skills to learn other languages. Students who are successful in Computer Programming are eligible to continue their studies in the Computer Programming and Analysis program offered at Kingston Campus with admission into the third year of the Advanced Diploma program.
