AP Computer Science 4

Have you ever wondered how a calculator works? How your computer games work? Or how the programs on your computer work? In programming we will explore the computer programming language Java and how programs actually work. We will create our own programs ranging from basic calculators to eventually simple text-based games. (More advanced students will be able to create Java Applet games by the end of the class.) This class is designed for those who think logically or would like to learn to think logically. Motivated students will be prepared to take the Advanced Placement A exam at the end of the year, and may continue to AP Advanced Computer Programming where they will learn more complicated programming techniques and learn to create more complicated programs and games.

There is little to no homework in this class, but missing a day will put you far behind, as everything in the class builds.
