Web Technology and Game Programming is a twoyear program for students interested in computer
gaming and Web design. The Web design section of
the program will introduce and fine-tune students’ skills
and abilities by preparing them to create Web pages
from scratch using source code. This will lead to the
development of high-end multi-media interactive sites.
In the game development portion of the curriculum
students will learn how to design and build mobile
games and apps using game development software.

Course Detail
WEB PAGE DESIGN:
PROGRAMMING LOGIC:
Students will learn about the Internet and the World Wide
Web, their differences, and how they work. They will
evaluate Web site design and begin creating Web sites
using the HTML5 source code language. Students will go
through the Microsoft HTML5 Application Development
curriculum and be eligible for the Microsoft Application
Certification at the end of year one. This will teach them
all the foundation skills and basics of creating a Web
site to include navigation, links, images, graphics, and
styling using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). They will be
introduced to both the Flash and DreamWeaver Design
programs to familiarize themselves with the Adobe
software’s and understand how the programs work with
HTML in creating a site.
Every language has its own syntax (rules) that must be
followed in order for the computer to read and understand
it. Students will learn these rules for different languages and
gain insight of how their favorite games and applications
work by coding with the most accepted and industry
used programming languages. Being able to flowchart
and develop a program using the Software Development
Life Cycle (SDLC) scheme is essential for anyone wanting
to get into a Computer Science or similar career. Writing
applications using correct variables, data types, functions,
and methods will be taught through hands-on practice and
debugging exercises.
GAME DESIGN:
Students will learn a variety of programming languages to
include Visual Basic, JavaScript, C++, and ActionScript.
They will learn the logic of writing programs and gain
a better understanding of how a computer reads and
processes programming directions. They will write and
create their own interactive games using these languages.
Game Development Software will also be introduced
during the first year to give students exposure of Game
Development Software and to better understand how the
logics work within a Design Software program.

DATABASES:
How does all that online shopping and bill paying work?
This section of the course ties everything together. It’s
the backend of most every Web site. Any form, email,
or interactive element of a Web site gets sent into a
database. Students will learn the Microsoft Excel and
Access programs to create spreadsheets and databases to
handle and manipulate this data. Behind every Web page
is a database collecting and keeping track of information.
Students will learn to build these databases, query
information, and process results. This is a huge skill that
employers want in their employees.
