I am a professor of software development and computer science at Grand Canyon University. Students graduate with experience in C#, Java, JavaScript and PHP frameworks including Microsoft .NET MVC, Spring, Enterprise, Laravel, Node, Express, React, Angular, Android, Xamarin and jQuery.

Included in the programming experience, students also practice software development practices with agile teams using burndown charts, scrums, user story backlogs and sprints.
