Computer programming jobs are challenging and well-paid. CDI College's Programmer Analyst/Internet Solutions Developer program trains students to excel in roles such as computer programmer, software development programmer, or programmer analyst.

In this diploma program, students will learn how to assess business needs and create design solutions. They will learn to prepare and write programming code and manage, maintain and update existing programming code.

Students will become proficient in Microsoft Visual C#, .NET, OOP, OOD, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Office, SQL Server, ADO.NET, XML, HTML, Visio, Script, ASP.NET, and Web Services. Students also develop skills in Object-Oriented Programming using either Java or C++. Students put their newly acquired technical skills to use in a real-world workplace as part of the required 200-hour work placement program.

"The instructors encouraged me to keep my marks high in order to fully understand the courses. I would recommend this program anytime." - Larry B., CDI College Graduate
