This course is the foundation of all studies for web based products and applications, introducing students to principal concepts used in web development. Emphasis is placed on mastering HTML5 and CSS3. Students will learn to produce well-formed, hand-coded web pages, using the features of HTML5 and CSS3. Students will start by learning how to prepare for creating a Web site and use the basics components of HTML5 to design the fundamental layout and design. Students will then learn to add links, images and other resources to the Web site and organize the Web site contents into user-friendly layouts by applying advanced CSS styling. Next, you will learn how to enhance your Web site by creating and processing Web forms, incorporating audio/video components, integrating social media tools and add some basic functionality using basic JavaScript programming.

This course introduces students to the rapid prototype and web site authoring tool Dreamweaver, allowing them to quickly produce interactive web pages and sites. The emphasis of this course is to use the features and tools of the authoring software to build professional grade site architecture, structure, and content. Topical coverage includes:

• Advantages and disadvantages of web site authoring software tools and features
• Principles of effective layout
• Fundamentals of Cascading Style Sheets
• Incorporating Images and graphics
• Working with templates
• Adding navigation
• Dynamic and interactive content
• Fundamental Behaviours and Commands
• Uploading to the server

JavaScript is the primary coding tool that allows for the addition of interactivity and intelligence to HTML documents. Students will learn how to create dynamic, interactive Web pages with the popular JavaScript web programming language. Students will work through basic concepts and techniques of JavaScript programming from the ground up. This course will take the student from the most elementary aspects of JavaScript programming by embedding scripts in HTML documents and then through creating variables, using loops, using logic statements and creating functions, students will progress through to using JavaScript's powerful event handlers.

This course will explore the fundamentals of Web development and programming with PHP and MySQL. This course will explore four key areas of PHP and MySQL; the programming constructs with PHP, accessing and manipulating data through the use of forms, object oriented programming with PHP and Web site security with PHP. Students will learn to work with PHP data types and operators, build functions and control structures, manipulate strings, access files and directories, process data in arrays and strings, work with MySQL databases and manipulate MySQL databases with PHP. Students will also learn how to manage state information, develop objectoriented PHP, handle errors and exceptions and debug PHP code.

In this course, students will continue to explore the creation of dynamic web pages by adding additional functionality to them using advanced JavaScript and JQuery. The goal is to make web pages highly functional by using the updated features of JQuery such as jQuery UI, navigation, tables, interactive capabilities, audio, and video integration. Students will learn to work with the JQuery features that improve performance and speed and while using a variety of third-party jQuery plugins that can add more versatility to your web pages.

This course introduces the students to the Python programming language. Students will continue to integrate Object-Oriented programming concepts will learning the features of the Python programming language. This course also explore Internet programming including accessing client-side network protocols and email tools, using CGI scripts, and website implementation techniques using Python.

In this course, students will learn to integrate Node.js, MongoDB and Angular Web Development into fully functional Web solutions. The course will begin with tutorials on each of the three technologies and then quickly moves on to building several common web applications. Students will learn how to use Node.js and MongoDB to build more scalable, high-performance sites, and then leverage Angular’s innovative MVC approach to structure more effective pages and applications. By the end of this course, students will be able to use all three technologies to develop outstanding next-generation Web solutions.

AWS is one of the leading cloud computing platforms. Developers working in the mobile space are often not aware of the public cloud and spend months writing applications and server side code for commonly used features such as user registrations and authentications, user logins, password recovery and server side storage. These features are already provided by AWS and can be easily integrated in a fraction of the time. This course provides the students with the knowledge and skills to work in the mobile space and use some of the common services offered by AWS in both a Android and IOS environment.

This is the practicum component of the Web Development program, which is the opportunity for students to assimilate their knowledge and skills from the classroom portion of the program and apply it to practice in a Web development work environment. The variety of tasks to perform in the work environment will vary from place to place depending upon a number of factors (e.g. type of business, development platform used, programming languages used and deployment platform). This field placement will prepare students for their transition to the workforce. The practicum will be completed in Web application development environment working under the supervision of experienced personnel. Students are provided with a description of duties he/she will perform on the job. At the end of the placement, the practicum host will provide an evaluation on the student and the student will provide the college with an evaluation on the placement.

In addition to learning career-oriented skills, students learn how to get a job in their chosen profession. Our Employment Services department will assist the graduate in resume writing, as well as preparing for job interviews. Our staff is sensitive to current job market trends and the needs of employers in each local market.
Our graduates receive guidance and training to use career tools that help job seekers build a better resume and cover letter, manage an online portfolio, hone interviewing skills, and develop a personal brand online.
Students will have the use of a computer lab which has unlimited Internet access, as well as job search resources. Facilitators will also be made available to advise on job finding resources, interview skills and techniques and to carry out mock interviews.

This course also looks at the planning, preparation, execution, and follow-up stages of an interview:

• How people find jobs
• Employer expectations
• Presenting an enthusiastic attitude
• Focusing on the right job and the hidden job market
• Transferrable skills
• Thank you letters
• Effective telemarketing
• Handling objections, self-confidence, and self-esteem
• Individual counselling and coaching
