Our Public Repositories

Computer Programming Technology

Computer programmers design, develop and test software and ensure software adheres to best practices in performance, reliability and security. Programmers focus on controlling the interaction between humans and machines. Computer programming allows us to harness the computing power needed to do tasks as efficiently and accurately as possible. Whether you enjoy using computers to solve problems or develop solutions, a career in IT is the place for you.

Some of the courses we teach

The courses range in topics from a capstone course for student Final Projects which simulates a workplace environment, Database Programming using MySQL, Mobile Application Development, Python, Java, C++, C#. We have a team of instructors that have close ties with industry experts working to provide each student with the skills needed to be successful in the workplace.
