I’m going to be a student! Starting September 29, I’ll be taking a leave of absence from my lovely job to attend the Internet Professional Program, a full-time, nine-month certificate program offered by UBC Continuing Studies, Division of Applied Technology. Here’s a tenative list of the courses I’ll be taking:
- Introduction to the Internet Professional Program
- Web Graphics with Photoshop and ImageReady
- Fundamentals of Web Design
- Usability and Interface Design
- Fundamentals of Web Multimedia with Flash
- Interactive Web Multimedia with Flash
- ABCs of Programming
- Client-side Programming (JavaScript)
- Rich Internet Programming with Flash
- Database Fundamentals with Access
- Programming SQL with Access
- Online Databases with SQL Server 2000
- Fundamentals of Database-Driven Web Applications with ColdFusion and Dreamweaver
- XML
- Advanced Database-Driven Web Applications with ColdFusion and Dreamweaver
- Securing Web Applications
- Implementing an Internet Payment Service
- Comparative Programming
- Rich Internet Application Development with Flash and ColdFusion
- Internet Audio/Video/Data Applications with Flash Communication Server
- Web Project Management
- Internet Marketing
- Outsourcing and Contracting
It’s a pretty good list, I think. UBC have decided to concentrate on a single server-side technology and, while I would have preferred that they focus on something other than ColdFusion, I think that’s a good idea.
The program normally includes some introductory courses that I won’t be taking. I’m hoping I’ll be able to replace them with some courses
from the Internet Programming Certificate program.
