SOFTWARE and mobile DEVELOPMENT
bcit.ca/computing/pts 604.432.8465 If you have the mindset to develop software by writing code in a programming language, the following programs can help you find a very rewarding career. All programming courses begin with Introduction to Software Development 1 (COMP 1409) followed by Introduction to Software Development 2 (COMP 1451). These are the foundations in object-oriented programming (OOP) and are the prerequisites for all other intermediatelevel programming languages. If you are serious about becoming an application programmer, you should understand multiple programming languages and environments.
APPLIED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT –ASSOCIATE CERTIFICATE bcit.ca/6958acert Learn to design, build, and deploy software applications. This program is aimed at three audiences: students who want to learn programming, existing programmers who want to learn new languages, and candidates for advanced programming credentials. Applied Software Development is the first step towards the CST diploma and degree, as well as the prerequisite for the three higher-level credentials: Web and Mobile Application Development, .NET Application Software Development, and Advanced Java Web Development.
Elective courses offered this term: After COMP 1451, move onto any intermediate-level COMP 2600-series programming course:
