Strategic and tactical utilization of data processing and now information technology has been to a significant degree defined and driven by programming languages. With new generations of computer hardware and major advancements in operating systems and system software, the architecture, design, and coding of computer programming has evolved to provide significant new capabilities. The nature and structure of programming languages, SDKs, API’s, development platforms, and methods of deployment has changed from:

• Procedural to structured methodologies.
• Procedural to non procedural.
• Mainframe to client/server.
• Relational theory and structured query languages to object implementation and common user interfaces.
• From closed systems and proprietary languages to open source and web enablement technologies.

What was considered in the 1960’s and 1970’s to be a full featured language has either been modified and enhanced a thousand fold or replaced completely with a newer and better language. As the first generation of system analysts, application designers, and computer programmers reach retirement age, the maintenance and documentation of mission critical programs, written in a variety of languages, will now have to be managed by a new generation of personnel. Or the older code will have to be phased out and replaced by applications written with the new languages and development platforms. The design, coding, and utilization of a programming language is specific to the applications created by an organization. The choices and decisions in terms of migration, upgrading and new development are challenging and driven by technology, budget, and the availability of skilled personnel and staffing. Planning for new systems is complicated by the installed base of hundreds of millions of lines of procedural and client/server code: COBOL, Assembler, PL/1, Fortran, RPG, C, C++, Visual Basic, Visual C++, etc. These applications still function and are being utilized; but do not readily meet the emerging enterprise and web enablement standards. The consensus among industry leaders and technologists is that there is no single uniform or best programming language or development platform. However, software development continues to shift towards the reuse of legacy systems to handle the complexities of software development. Increasingly object oriented programming is being used to reuse the existing code by organizing the system into objects through information hiding, encapsulation, polymorphism and other techniques.

The long-time mainstays in the industry, IBM, SAS Institute, Information Builders have retrofitted and adapted their proprietary programming languages, APIs, and development platforms to their client's system software in order to meet major advancements in hardware and web enablement software. Microsoft and Sun Microsystems, have expended considerable resources in developing and promoting their respective web development platforms: open source Java and proprietary .NET. In 2009, Oracle Corporation acquired BEA WebLogic and Sun Microsystems' Java, Solaris, and MySQL. Oracle is moving towards being an end-to-end service provider. The immediate challenge facing Oracle will be assembling the pieces and making them work together. SYS-ED and Computer Education Techniques' technology partners have been evaluating industry benchmarks and performing its own assessment of Oracle Corporation statistics and software engineering efforts. The reality in the immediate future will be that new application development and maintaining an programming infrastructure will be multi-vendor and in all likelihood include open source software.

Since 1980, SYS-ED’s staff of system consultant instructors have been designing, coding, debugging, and maintaining applications with programming languages on mainframe, client/server, and microcomputer systems. We have a multi-disciplinary skillet in hybrid proprietary and open source operating environments and as knowledge transfer experts. Our cadre of system consultant instructors’ average over 30 years experience and the by product of this hard earned consultant’s swagger is a courseware library compromised of 1000’s of sample and skeleton programs which we maintain, update, and use in our hands-on workshops. We recognize and differentiate between industry standard content and educational consultancy. It is our standard policy to review client documentation and standards and then allow the client to designate the sample programs and exercises from our courseware library.

The courseware utilized in SYS-ED instructor-led programming courses are highly respected in information technology. They extend the source vendor documentation and incorporate a purposeful examination of the program logic and sample programs which have been validated on consultancy projects. And with the intermixing and hybrid implementations of open standards and proprietary development platforms, reference material which “explains and demonstrates” is fundamental to effective learning. Upon completion of a course, students are welcome to ask the inevitable questions which come up back on the job. The Computer Education Techniques knowledge base is a service for answering questions, inclusive of the research and validation of the accuracy of information in the public domain. Citation of source documentation and examples are used to provide answers to the questions. Content is selectively added to SYS-ED course hand-outs and training aids.

Courses can be taken as part of an integrated program or a la carte. Tailored course offerings can be conducted on-site in a traditional classroom or presented using a web-based delivery format medium. As part of presenting an instructor-led programming language course at the client location, courseware is evaluated and organized for subsequent use in a web-based infrastructure and delivery medium. This service is provided free of charge. At the client discretion, pre and post course validation assessment can be utilized. Few consulting or software companies, let alone training vendors, have been conducting programming languages courses longer or better than SYS-ED.

Caveat Emptor
Prior to scheduling a programming course, evaluate the quality of the SYS-ED training service:

• Review the learning paths.
• Read the technology assessments and CFAQs - course frequently asked questions.
• Examine the content in our courseware and training aids.
• Utilize our programming language skillset assessments.
• Interview our systems consultant/instructor.

SYS-ED has been conducting courses in the public domain since 1980; however, there have been changes in the laws and regulations governing computer training in the state of New York. The schedule on our websites reflects a projected time frame for licensure with the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision and submission and approval of curriculum. It will be updated quarterly.
