The associate in applied science (AAS) degree in web application programming technology is a technical degree that prepares students for a career as a web designer and programmer.

Web application programmers design, create, and test new applications, including applications distributed via a web server. Web application programmers begin their work by analyzing customer or project requirements. During development they act as skilled problem solvers and clear communicators. Web application programmers utilize refined logical thinking and solid design skills, paying close attention to detail, application usability, and security. They may use development software to write code and create applications for the desktop and/or web. They must be able to accurately estimate their time-on-task, manage their portion of a project, and clearly document their work. Many enterprise-level applications require database integration. Web application programmers would create multi-tier programming architectures that integrate static content and dynamic data to meet the needs of the user. Upon successful completion of this degree a student will be able to:

• Understand patterns and make connections among different disciplines and schools of knowledge and to integrate studies with personal experience
• Develop refined logical thinking and solid design skills, paying close attention to detail, application usability, and security
• Learn actively and gain comprehensive understanding; to think critically, creatively, and reflectively in order to solve problems; to communicate with clarity and originality for personal growth and productive work; and to interact in diverse and complex environments and complicated, dynamic, and ambiguous situations
