Quick Launch
Dual Credit – Object-Oriented Programming and Web Development
Object-Oriented Programming (CPRG216) offered by SAIT explores the concept of computer programming languages as tools that can be used to provide IT business solutions. Topics include solving techniques, an overview of software design methodology, programming language terminology, and an introduction to the differences between styles of languages. The course also introduces students to basic programming structures. Web Development (CPRG213) introduces students to the concepts and fundamental technologies in web development. Students will explore standardized web technologies and languages, including front end HTML, CSS ASP.NET Core, and Javascript. In both courses, students will create and implement website applications using industry-standard programming languages.
