PROGRAMMING (.NET TECHNOLOGY) NC III CURRICULUM GUIDE
Duration: 320 Hours
This curriculum guide provides an introduction to HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. The course helps students gain basic HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript programming skills, and is an entry point into both the Web application and Windows Store apps training paths. The course focuses on using HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript to implement programming logic, define and use variables, perform looping and branching, develop user interfaces, capture and validate user input, store data, and create well-structured application. Further, this unit covers the skills, knowledge, and attitude required in developing HTML5 Websites. Students will also learn to develop advanced ASP.NET MVC applications using .NET Framework 4.5 tools and technologies. The focus will be on coding activities that enhance the performance and scalability of the Web site application. ASP.NET MVC will be introduced and compared with Web Forms so that students know when each should/could be used.
It covers the basic, common, and core competencies such as perform programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3, and develop ASP.NET MVC 5 Web applications. This also includes an introduction to the Windows 8 platform and the Windows Store applications.
