Computer Programming, AAS Degree
Computer Programmers or "software application developers" work with business users and other professionals to create applications that provide solutions. The applications may be structured, top-down computer code that is a sequence of instructions to be followed by the computer or they may be object-oriented programs which call other programming objects.
The knowledgeable computer programmer learns a variety of languages to meet the diverse needs of businesses, including use of the Internet as a tool for interfacing with users, customers and other businesses. A basic understanding of operating systems (Linux, Windows and IBM OS/400) and networking is essential. Knowledge of databases such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, DB2/400 and Microsoft Access is used in conjunction with the programming languages. This program includes training in enterprise level languages such as Oracle PL/SQL and IBM’s RPG IV as well as other popular languages such as HTML, Java, and Visual Basic.NET.
