Software Development

Are you interested in coding and computer software? Have you ever wanted to build your own website or your own app? Software development could be the right career for you.

In this program, you'll develop the planning and coding skills necessary to create software for various devices. You’ll be exposed to a wide variety of coding languages and environments. You will also have the opportunity to test and manage software, work in teams and conduct research.

Whether you want to work as an app developer, a web designer, or a computer programmer, you will be prepared to work with others in a rapidly-growing industry. 

Detailed Information

The program works with modern technologies and programming languages. The program exposes students to technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, Responsive Website Design, JavaScript, Node.js, PHP/Laravel, Android/Kotlin and DBMS/SQL. The program also allows students to develop soft skills in agile development, project management and job preparation techniques.

Students must maintain a grade of 2.0 in each class. All software required for the program is available in CIS labs. Students can purchase the software to use at home with student discounts.

This program is designed to prepare students for employment in the specialized field of DevOps.

DevOps bonds Software development with the Networking & Cloud operations needed to deploy and manage software. Software development and Networking & Cloud operations historically worked independently of one another, DevOps is the process of combining people, processes, and technologies to build higher quality software rapidly.
 
The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in DevOps Engineering will provide students with a foundation of theoretical and technical knowledge in DevOps. This degree prepares graduates to close the gap between software development and IT operations to create a unified and responsive approach to changing business needs and rapidly releasing high-quality application software and IT systems.
 
The program map below represents the courses a student would take entering with the Software Development AAS. The courses students are required to take in the DevOps program in quarters 7-12 depend on the degree a student brings into the program. The Cloud Computing and the Computer Network Design & Administration AAS degrees also feed into this program, and each have a set of required courses in the DevOps program. No student will be allowed to register for quarters 7-12 without meeting with DevOps faculty or Program Specialist
 
Note: It is required for all DevOps students to meet with DevOps faculty or Pathways Specialist in order to register for DevOps courses. Students will be given detailed instructions for which courses they should register for and their success in the program is dependent on appropriate course selection in each quarter.
