WEB DEVOLOMENT
WHAT IT MEANS:
The Information Technology Association of America has defined Information Technology (IT) as
"the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based
information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." IT is an
academic discipline that affects most businesses and industries. Its progressive evolution,
due to the advancement of computers and communication technology, continues to have a
profound impact on our lives.
One area of Information Technology is Web Development. Few recent innovations have impacted
the world of business as much as the Internet. What was originally designed as a closed
information network for defense and scholarly research has expanded into today's global web
of information, entertainment and commerce. There are hundreds of thousands of business
websites, and every one-whether an internal intranet or a globally accessible site on the
World Wide Web-needs people behind the scenes to help keep the information current and
secure.
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU:
In 2002, the Information Technology Association of America projected that hiring managers
expected 1.1 million technology job openings for that year, and that these managers would
not be able to fill almost 600,000 of these jobs due to a shortage in qualified workers.
As a web development technologist, you could help meet the demand for technically competent
individuals. A web development education can help you develop the knowledge and skills to
implement technical details of Internet and intranet websites, developing website content,
maintaining and updating websites, and incorporating security features to protect against
unauthorized use. If you're organized, level-headed and able to work well with others, web
development is an IT area you might like to pursue.
The Web Development program in the School of Information Technology at TTI Technical
Institute teaches students how to perform tasks associated with the creation, installation,
security, update and maintenance of business websites. Through classroom theory and
practical applications in a laboratory environment, students are exposed to information on
software scripting, programming languages, database development, network concepts, visual
design principles and other related technical subjects. This program can help graduates
begin careers in a variety of entry-level positions in various fields involving IT and web
development. These may include such positions as HTML programmer, GUI design specialist,
database technician and website designer.
