ARKANSAS CODING ACADEMY TO HOLD DEMO DAY
The Arkansas Coding Academy (ArCA) at the University of Central Arkansas will hold its Virtual Demo Day on Tuesday, Dec. 15, from 2-4 p.m. via Wonder.me at the following link: https://www.wonder.me/r?id=qigu88-tlve1. Graduates of the most recent part-time class will present their final projects before entering the information technology workforce as computer programmers.
Demo Day is an event that allows recent ArCA graduates to showcase their work to the community and potential employers. It serves as an opportunity for students to discuss their projects and network with the community as they prepare to enter the career field. The students are taught a wide range of software development tools that allow them to create a “full stack” web application. These tools include popular languages like Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Java and Structured Query Language (SQL).
