Do you have a basic understanding of computers and want to learn the process of how to write computer programs?

In AP Computer Science, we will work to prepare for the AP Computer Science A exam. We will use the Java programming language to learn computer science principles and techniques. This will not only prepare you for the AP exam, but can also be used in most other computer science classes that you might take. We will look at Object Oriented Programming and the concepts behind it. In Java, we will look at primitive data types, classes, and control structures. As we finish the course, we will sort and search algorithms, and program design will be introduced. All of these topics will be reinforced with labs and writing code, to help you get hands-on knowledge of the concepts. When you finish the course, you will be ready to take the AP exam and also proceed on to more in-depth computer science courses.
