D288 Back-End Programming (ITSW 3175, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the top rung of the Java ladder on four computing tables: term 9 of the B.S. Computer Science and its accelerated BSCS to MSCS version, beside D333 Ethics in Technology and the AI sequence, and term 8 of the B.S. Software Engineering and its accelerated BSSWE to MSSWE version, beside D339 Technical Communication and D385 Software Security and Testing. Per the published description it covers creating back-end components of a web application with framework packages, implementing database functionality in a web application, and creating web services, and it requires intermediate expertise in object-oriented programming and the Java language. Coursework Ninja completes D288 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Next question: what does D287 Java Frameworks, the course that starts D288's ladder, expect?
WGU's published description is short and exact: Back-End Programming introduces students to creating back-end components of a web application with the support of framework packages. The course also teaches students how to implement database functionality in a web application and how to create web services. The entry bar is stated just as plainly: this course requires intermediate expertise in object-oriented programming and the Java language, one level up from the foundational knowledge D287 asks for.
By the time D288 appears, the degree is nearly done, which is exactly why it stalls people. On the computer science tables it sits in term 9 beside D333 Ethics in Technology, D429 Introduction to AI for Computer Scientists, and D682, after the whole D286 to D287 to E155 Java ladder. On the software engineering tables it lands in term 8 beside D199, D339 Technical Communication, and D385 Software Security and Testing, with D480 Software Design and Quality Assurance and the closer E076 Applied Software Engineering still ahead in terms 9 and 10. A back-end rebuild in the final stretch is the expensive place to learn frameworks. Send the code and your program, and we quote a flat price in writing.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment D288 carries, proctored environments included where they apply.
The description's first competency: creating back-end components of a web application with the support of framework packages. Routing, controllers, and the framework's own conventions carry the score, not hand-rolled plumbing.
The description's second competency: implementing database functionality in a web application. Schema, connections, and queries have to work from inside the app, and the graded behavior is data surviving a real round trip.
The description's third competency: creating web services. That means endpoints another system can call, with sensible request and response shapes, not a page that only a browser can use.
The description's stated requirement is intermediate expertise in object-oriented programming and the Java language, a step above D287's foundational bar. The course assumes the ladder behind it (D286, D287, E155 on the CS tables; D287 and E155 on the software tables) actually happened.
D288 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining computer science or software engineering list it folds into the flat $3,000 bachelor's package with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.

Bottlenecks
D288 arrives near the end of the degree, when term energy is lowest and the remaining courses are all framework-heavy. These are the stalls we take over most often.

The description states the requirement: intermediate expertise in object-oriented programming and the Java language. On every table that expertise is built by the ladder in front of it: D286 Java Fundamentals, D287 Java Frameworks, and E155 Advanced Java on the computer science tables, and D287 then E155 on the software engineering tables.
Per the September 2026 catalog, term 9 of both computer science tables beside D333 Ethics in Technology and D429 Introduction to AI for Computer Scientists, with D459 Introduction to Systems Thinking and Applications in the same stretch, and term 8 of both software engineering tables beside D199 Introduction to Physical and Human Geography, D339 Technical Communication, and D385 Software Security and Testing. D333, D459, and D339 have their own completion pages here.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining bachelor's list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.
