Unique Pathways & Off-campus Education
Dual Credit - ICT Software & Web Development
The ICT Software & Web Development program bundles two courses, Object-Oriented Programming (CPRG216) and Web Development (CPRG213). Object-Oriented Programming, from SAIT’s new Information Technology Services diploma program, explores the use of programming languages as tools that can be used to provide IT business solutions. In Web Development, students will gain hands-on experience with front end HTML, CSS ASP.NET Core and Javascript. In both courses, students will create and implement website applications using industry-standard programming languages.
