Studying the Diploma of Information Technology (Advanced Programming) at Holmesglen
This course immerses you in current industry software programming tools including C#, ASP .NET framework, AWS cloud services, Python, JavaScript, MySQL, and Microsoft Visual Studio.
You will draw on knowledge and skills developed in a prior certificate IV qualification that focused on foundation programming skills and knowledge, or skills that have been developed over more than two years working as a programmer in the industry. This course culminates in an industry-based capstone project, where you will work as part of a team developing a software solution for an industry-based client. Working with the client the team will design, develop and implement a software solution against an approved specification that will support the client's business operations.
