The Programming and Web Development Program

Computer programmers write detailed instructions that tell computers how to perform tasks. They determine the steps that must be followed and the processes that must be completed in each step. Programmers tell the computer which information to access, how to process it, and what equipment to use. Many programmers work with existing programs. They update, modify and expand these programs based on the needs of their clients. Programmers use one or more of the advanced languages available to encode their instructions. Students will be exposed to hardware and software currently used in office settings. They will be instructed in the design, creation, debugging and implementation of a Web page.
