BCIT Computing  Flexible Learning offers 4 separate web development credentials, course by course in the evenings, with online delivery options.

Do you want to explore web development?

Web Development Foundations, (WDF) is a microcredential aimed at those, with no related experience, who want to learn to build web pages and websites by hand.

Students with no web coding background will be introduced to web scripting languages and tools by industry experts. Following on from WDF, students may continue on to the next level.

Introduction to Full-Stack Web Development is a microcredential for students with a solid understanding of web coding and scripting. Advanced JavaScript libraries for Front-End and Back-end web development are taught with best practices for developing websites.

Both web microcredentials are sub-sets of the Applied Web Development, (AWD) Associate Certificate. Students focus on using industry-standard methods and scripting tools to plan, document, design and build commercial-quality web pages and websites with the most popular current technologies.

AWD begins with hand-coding in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Required courses include data modelling, database, SQL, and business analysis for systems design of websites and web applications.

Electives options provide choices in: UX/UI, Mobile Apps, Angular and Vue, Node.js, React and PHP for advanced web applications. Students who complete AWD can develop and manage commercial-quality web pages, websites and web apps to industry standards.

Do you want to learn Web Application Programming?

Web and Mobile Application Development, (WMA) is aimed at Object-Oriented programmers who already know how to build software applications in Java and C#. WMA is a second-level associate certificate that requires students to first complete Applied Software Development, (ASD).

Students must have Java and C# application development experience, as well as business analysis and systems design, plus prior HTML5 and CSS3 experience before being approved to declare credential.

There is a focus on advanced web scripting with JavaScript libraries, including Angular/Vue, Node.js, and React.js in conjunction with web application development in both Java and .NET.

Electives include various courses in: Android and Mobile scripting tools, Android, iOS Apps, Quality Assurance and DevOps with containers. Students who complete WMA can develop significant software applications on websites and mobile devices.
