The Full Stack Developer Program at DSDT is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop native applications. Throughout the program, students will learn how to use a range of programming languages and frameworks, including Python, Java Script and React to create high-quality apps that are optimized for operating systems.
The program is suitable for students who are interested in pursuing a career in software development or who want to learn how to build their applications for personal or professional use. It is a hands-on program that focuses on practical skills and real-world applications, giving students the opportunity to gain experience in the development process from start to finish.
Upon completion of the program, students will receive a certificate of completion and will be well-prepared to enter the workforce as full stack developers or to pursue further studies in the field.
This is a certificate of completion program which includes instruction in Four (4) Information Technology Courses:
The Python I and II courses start with an introduction to the Python scripting language. The purpose of these courses is to prepare students for building scripts that control a sequence of program steps, such as those used in developing, testing, and deploying software. Python I begins with an introduction to basic techniques in scripting using Python, and Python II builds upon those techniques. Python II also introduces curriculum designed for testing applications, constructing web scraping scripts, networking to manage applications, and automation.
The JavaScript I and II courses begin with an introduction to JavaScript. We assume that you’re new to the language, so we start with basic functionality such as creating functions, variables, and calling these lines of code from your standard HTML pages. We cover events and triggers for custom event handling, pattern matching, searching for text within a page, flow control, and the Document Object Model (DOM). The course starts with the basics and moves on to more complex topics such as arrays and objects. We also discuss how to script common elements with JavaScript, such as forms and tables. Toward the end, we cover major libraries such as Ajax, which allows you to make asynchronous calls to server-side scripts without reloading the web page. Whether you’re just starting in web design or want to learn how to code JavaScript, this course is for you.
To prepare students for post-program success by providing a rich learning environment utilizing research-based methods of instruction and providing access to relevant and current resources and materials. Students will participate in a challenging and worthwhile certificate program based on current industry/academic expectations. The Full Stack Developer Program will provide students with a roadmap to gainful employment by instruction in 4 courses.

Prerequisite: PYT-101
This course builds upon the foundational skills established in Python I. This course delves deeper into advanced Python concepts, including object-oriented programming, file operations, and exception handling. Students will also start working with libraries and frameworks that enhance Python's functionality, enabling them to create more sophisticated applications. By the end of Python II, students will be well-versed in the use of Python for complex problem-solving, data manipulation, and web development.
A basic understanding of technology is recommended, but no prior experience is needed to enroll.

The estimated total cost of attending school for a specific period, including tuition, fees, housing, food, books, transportation, and other related expenses.
Attendance on a daily basis is a mandatory requirement for all students. Any class session or activity missed, regardless of cause, reduces the opportunity for learning and may adversely affect a student’s achievement. Students are responsible to instructors for class attendance and for any class work missed during an absence. Student is responsible to catch up on the missing material on his/her own by contacting fellow classmates or instructor.
