Computer Programming

Confederation College’s Computer Programming two-year diploma program will teach students the necessary technical skills while developing their creativity. Students learn how to program in various languages such as HTML5, JavaScript, C#, Java, and SQL. They also gain experience with the art of application design, design patterns, user experience strategies, design techniques, several languages, non-language specific development, deployment, and testing for a host of devices and environments.

Designed to help students prepare to engage in self-employed scenarios and learn to work globally, this program features a strong focus on building full-stack development skills.

An optional co-op placement between semesters 2 and 3 allows students to apply their new skills in a real-world job position.
