4. Software Development Online Part-Time Flex Bootcamp

A. Program Description
The Software Development Online Part-Time Flex program is a fexible alternative that
provides online access to Web Fundamentals, one full stack, and Projects and Algorithms.

In the Software Development Online Part-Time Flex program, students master the fundamental
building blocks of web and software development. Students learn the basics of how the web
works, front-end development, back-end development, and database development; thus,
making them highly valuable as an entry-level software developer. Beginning with an
introduction to web fundamentals, students learn basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to design
and manipulate user interfaces. Then, students explore one popular back-end language and
technology to master the request-response cycle to manage and manipulate data. By the end of
the program, students will have gained the necessary skills to become an entry-level developer.

Ideal for students interested in web development who cannot attend the dedicated hours
necessary for Full-Time or the Part-Time Accelerated.
