Students will learn about information technology/computer concepts including history, security, and societal issues in computing as well as input/output systems, computer hardware, networking and operating systems and software. Student will also learn the basic units of logic: sequence, selection and looping and will apply algorithmic solutions to problem-domain scenarios using commercial and open source applications.
Students will learn to represent programming concepts as “objects” that have data fields and associated procedures known as methods. Students will implement classes such as support static, instance method, inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, and object serialization. Commercial and open source programs and applications will be used.
Students will learn the dynamics of the Web environment with an in-depth study of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML5) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS3), and JavaScript. Students will create websites with tag text elements, special characters, lines, graphics, hypertext links, and graphical grids while addressing web-based protocols and scripting.
Students will learn skills to support and create interactive and engaging components for web and standalone interactive applications. Using commercial and open source programs and applications, students will master web interactivity with advanced techniques including JavaScript and Structured Query Language (SQL).
