The Computer Software & Database Development Ontario College Graduate Certificate Program offers students the opportunity to study the most current trends in website development, computer programming, database design and development, mobile development, and web technologies. This intensive two-year course includes an introduction to computing and web trends, and rapidly familiarizes students with current development tools to culminate in a work-term for eligible students. Major coursework provides a hands-on environment allowing students to evaluate, design, and implement software applications for the three-tier client, server, and database environment. In the final academic term, students also explore Emerging Technologies that are becoming relevant in their field.
Students study Microsoft C# and Oracle Java programming languages as well as the Oracle and IBM DB2 databases. Graduates have the ability to use problem solving and critical thinking skills to analyze business and industry requirements and design, develop and implement real life database-driven enterprise web applications.
