SHELBY TOWNSHIP ? Starting in May, eyeWyre Software Studios will offer software development courses for a range of topics, including how to make games for desktop computers, mobile devices, the web and game consoles, like the xbox 360.
The courses, available for ages 14 and up, range from beginner to advanced. The beginner classes provide an introduction to programming for those without any programming experience. The courses are very interactive and hands-on.
