[Marki Sveen]
Tonight is our Portfolio Night,
and we're showing off 
our work that we did all year, 
both in school
and freelance projects that we did. 
[Tunde Obatayo]
I was back home in Nigeria, 
and I was in
a web development firm.
I came to the program to get
more in depth, uh,
development knowledge.
The program
really did their research right.
They, they constantly go out
into the field 
to speak to potential employers,
and ask them, 
uh, what, what kind of developers
do you need out there,
what kind of designers 
do you need out there?
So, the program
takes into consideration
all the feedback they get 
from the industry,
and they try to infuse it
into the program.
 It's been a challenge,
but I'm glad we... we all made it.
 So, yeah, today is like a celebration 
of comin' this far. 
 [Bernie Monette] 
We're running it as a simulation.
So what we do
is we put all the students into teams,
they're constantly working
with these teams on the requirements 
and on the business logic 
of what it is they're doing.
Rather than just building a website
to learn the technology, 
we really want them to understand
that we're building websites 
 to satisfy the needs of the client, 
and to satisfy the needs of the users,
the people who'd use the website.
We want them to understand
the web development,
not just as a technical problem,
but also as a communications problem.
[Joel Lacroix] In this program,
I've learned the ability
to quickly learn
and implement new solutions, 
and, uh, new languages,
it taught me to think on my feet,
and trouble shooting
and problem solving on the spot.
Web development –
I like the fact that it's everywhere. 
You're not limited by the computer.
Uh, you have your phone,
you have your tablet,
any, any type of device really,
even gaming consoles. 
So really,
just the wide-reaching of the web
is what, uh,
lead me to this program.
[Scott Snowden] We've been partnering
with Humber for quite a few years. 
We're really interested in the program,
um, that they have here.
Um, it's been a great source of,
uh, staff for us, 
um, and we're really excited
to be back this year. 
In order to, you know,
build websites and build apps, 
you need back-end,
front-end, 
you need people who can plan all that
and architect it as well. 
It's great
to come to a program like this
that really does develop somebody's 
full-service, uh, capabilities. 
[Tunde]
If you wanna study web development
and you're not scared
to get your hands dirty,
Humber College
is the place for you.
