Information Technology at Whitecliffe

“During my time at Whitecliffe I built my first website and learnt a ton of programming languages such as C#, JAVA, Python, JavaScript, powerful IDEs, MySQL Workbench, Visual Studio Code, and PyCharm. I developed a sound knowledge of programming best practices, design, and planning, and gained the skills I needed to ‘Create Meaningful Change’. In my case, that meant an actual change of career!”

- Dumitru (Dan) Hayworth, Bachelor of Applied Information Technology Alumni
