Programming Languages:
Dear Students, To help you get prepared for the Capstone course, we have decided to make a short list of technologies that were previously used by students in their projects. We highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with at least two different technologies from each category.
Disclaimer: This is by no means an exhaustive list. These technologies are just a few to get you started thinking about what you might need to develop a typical project in this course.
