at BCC with a C- or better; or entry code.
PROG 120
Object Oriented
Programming Concepts • 5 CR
Students learn object oriented programming techniques
using the Visual Studio.Net development
environment and Visual Basic.Net. Students apply
these techniques for developing applications for
both Windows and Web environments. Students
will create classes, components, interfaces, and
user controls. Class provides the foundation for sophisticated
application development. Prerequisite:
PROG 110.
PROG 125
Enterprise Software
Development I • 5 CR
Students learn to create enterprise applications using
the Visual Studio.Net integrated development
