Teacher Assistant: Program Description

Students who specialize in Programming and Web Development concentrate on creating software and Web applications.

Students in this track learn to design, program and maintain a Website. They program Web pages creating original code using HTML, XHTML, JavaScript and CSS. Students also learn photography and use Photoshop to enhance pictures and design Web layout. Programming and Web Development students create and maintain the Voc-Tech Website throughout the year and update all the pictures for the school's Web photo gallery.

Students learn the fundamentals of programming languages, object oriented programming, and advanced programming topics. They practice the software engineering lifecycle (from gathering requirements up to the release process). They learn UML (Universal Model Language) to design and develop code. Students work with Java as their primary programming language and also use peer review to refine their skills.

The majority of graduates choose to continue their education and pursue two- or four-year degree programs in computer programming, computer information systems, or computer engineering. Students are also qualified for entry-level employment in computer operations and information systems.
