Introduction
Behind every application lies a database or storage that is one of the most valuable assets of any enterprise – it is data. Developed in consultation with professionals in the field, the programming option provides the student with a strong background in programming and data extraction skills necessary for success as a programmer/coder by providing hands-on experience in Python, C++, JAVA, SQL, and other software tools. Working independently or in teams, students learn to design, develop, and debug programs to process this data to solve problems typically found in an enterprise.
Graduates of the Computer Technology AAS Programming Option may find employment as computer programmers/coders, junior systems analysts, programmer analysts, technical sales representatives, technical support analysts, or web developers. Job opportunities will be available with consulting firms, Internet companies, Web development firms, and organizations requiring the development of in-house decision support or ad hoc systems.
