CompTIA Certification Overview The
demand for skilled network support professionals continues to grow, and
a CompTIA certification is a valuable credential to help start or
enhance a networking career. In fact, many IT certifications integrate
CompTIA into their curriculums. Microsoft added CompTIA into their
Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator program, and other
corporations such as Novell & Cisco also recognize CompTIA as part
of their certification tracks.
CompTIA A+ certification
validates the latest skills needed by today’s computer support
professionals. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification
recognized by major hardware and software vendors, distributors and
resellers. CompTIA A+ confirms a technician's ability to perform tasks
such as installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance
and basic networking. The exams also cover domains such as security,
safety and environmental issues and communication and professionalism.
CompTIA Network+ validates
the knowledge and skills of networking professionals. It is an
international, vendor-neutral certification that recognizes a
technician's ability to describe the features and functions of
networking components and to install, configure and troubleshoot basic
networking hardware, protocols and services. Although not a
prerequisite, it is recommended that CompTIA Network+ candidates have
at least nine months of experience in network support or administration
or adequate academic training, along with a CompTIA A+ certification.
CompTIA Security+
validates knowledge of communication security, infrastructure security,
cryptography, operational security, and general security concepts. It
is an international, vendor-neutral certification that is taught at
colleges, universities and commercial training centers around the
world. Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that CompTIA
Security+ candidates have at least two years on-the-job networking
experience, with an emphasis on security.
Programming & Data Administration Introduction
to Programming or equivalent knowledge is required for anyone wishing
to take any of the programming courses at The Career Center. The
introductory course is primarily designed to teach “object-oriented
programming” which is needed to do any kind of programming under the
Windows operating system. It also teaches students how to use a
“development environment”, which is a program that gives developers
graphical tools in order to generate code automatically, rather than
writing it line by line. For instance, if a programmer wants to write a
program that will display a list of customers, he, or she, could write
the lines of code manually or use a development program with menus and
screen-drawing tools to design the list and let the program generate
the actual lines of code. It makes programming much easier.
Microsoft Visual Studio.Net is
the recommended course following the Intrtoduction to .NET Framework
and expands upon the basic concepts you learned about the Visual
Studio.NET tool. Once students have taken the course .NET Framework:
Introduction, they understand the basic concepts, features, and
possibilities of .NET. With that foundation in place, they are ready to
explore the Visual Studio.NET environment. In this course, they learn
how to work with the IDE Windows in Visual Studio.NET so as to create
the different .NET project types. Learning how to use the Visual
Studio.NET environment is the first step to creating .NET applications.
By using the various wizards and features of Visual Studio.NET, users
are able to create the different project types more quickly and
efficiently than by hand-coding. This course is for students with or
without previous Visual Studio experience who are interested in Visual
Studio.NET Introduction to .NET is the first in a series
of .NET-related courses. It will provide students with the basic
concepts required to decode the terminology and features of .NET, and
will serve as the foundation for the other .NET courseware. The .NET
framework has revolutionized the delivery mechanism and implementation
architecture for software solutions. .NET is massively powerful and
Visual Studio .NET clearly accelerates development. However, even
greater productivity can be obtained through the application of an
appropriate development process, Unified Modeling Language (UML) design
and component reuse.
Microsoft C# Sharp is a new
programming language that is part of Microsoft Visual Studio and
designed for building a wide range of enterprise applications that run
on the .NET Framework. An evolution of Microsoft C and Microsoft C++,
C# is simple, modern, type safe, and object oriented. C# code is
compiled as managed code, which means it benefits from the services of
the common language runtime. These services include language
interoperability, garbage collection, enhanced security, and improved
versioning support. Microsoft Visual C++ provides a powerful and
flexible development environment for creating Microsoft Windows based
and Microsoft .NET based applications. It can be used as an integrated
development system, or as a set of individual tools.
Microsoft C++ Programming provides
a practical hands-on introduction to the C++ programming language.
Participants will learn the central concepts of the C++ language, with
emphasis on the use of object-oriented techniques in writing robust
code. Participants must have an understanding of object-oriented
concepts such as classes and inheritance. For C programmers interested
in moving to C++ and object technology we offer generic object-oriented
concepts training. The Career Center also has training devoted to
exploring the capabilities of the C++ language and enabling the student
to write useful C++ programs.
Microsoft Visual Basic
classes are for programmers looking to harness the power of the new
features and functionality of Visual Basic.NET. VB.NET offers a
significantly changed environment, language, and skill set than
previous versions of Visual Basic. It is primarily utilized within
companies to create customized record-keeping systems. Visual Basic
includes both a simple database system accessible by novice users as
well as a powerful development environment for programmers to write,
debug and compile professional database programs. It is a must for
anyone interested in developing customized systems for businesses. The
popularity of Visual Basic possibly results from its easily
understandable syntax. Like all other Turing complete programming
languages, it can be used to create arbitrarily complex applications,
as well. Programs written in Visual Basic can use the Windows API,
doing so, however, requires external function declarations. At The
Career Center, students will learn the Visual Basic.NET language from
the ground up..
Microsoft ASP.NET Active Server Pages is
a language for creating interactive web sites that was created by
Microsoft. It was designed to be easier to use, faster to develop in,
and to perform better than Perl/CGI. ASP.NET makes building real world
Web applications dramatically easier. ASP.NET server controls enable an
HTML-like style of declarative programming that let you build great
pages with far less code than with classic ASP. Displaying data,
validating user input, and uploading files are all amazingly easy. Best
of all, ASP.NET pages work in all browsers -- including Netscape,
Opera, AOL, and Internet Explorer. ASP.NET lets you leverage your
current programming language skills. ASP.NET teaches Web developers how
to efficiently devise solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform. C#.NET
Web Developer's Guide C# shows Web developers how to quickly and easily
build solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform. Web developers learn
to use C# components to build Web services and applications that are
available across the Internet-- from any application running on any
platform. VB.NET is written for Visual Basic programmers looking to
harness the power of the new features and functionality of Visual
Basic.NET. VB.NET offers a significantly changed environment, language,
and skill set than previous versions of Visual Basic.
Oracle Database 10G
offers increased scalability, higher security and greater reliability
capabilities that are more important than ever in an Internet world. As
an Oracle DBA you will provide these advantages to your business, and
play a critical role on Oracle technology projects. The duties of a
database administrator varies depending on job description, corporate
and IT policies and the technical features and capabilities of the
database management system’s being administered. They nearly always
include disaster recovery, performance analysis, tuning, data security,
meta-data management and strategic data architecture.
