Mobile apps and gaming are taught in many of our courses. Students create independent projects tailored to their own interests. Students learn all of the necessary skills for software development (software analysis and design, project management, algorithmic design, database design, graphics programming, team work, computer security, quality assurance) in a fun, exciting, and personalized way.
