| This class is designed for
students who plan to pursue a career that relies on computer technology.
No computer programming experience is necessary; however, completion of
Introduction to Computer Programming and a strong math background will
help assure success. Students will be learning JAVA, an excellent
web-based programming language that is the current standard for AP Computer Science. Topics include: program development cycle, program syntax, writing code techniques, classes, data types,
methods, conditionals, and repetition statements. Students will gain an in-depth knowledge of how computers execute programs. Students
will be given plenty of classroom time to work on projects. Since the
software is free, students will also be able to work at home. After the
AP Test, students will pick a topic of their choosing such as game
programming, swing classes, and data management. This class feeds into either AP Computer Science AB or other Information Technology classes. |
