FROM THE TEACHER

In the AP® Computer Science A course, you will learn key principles and concepts used in computer programming. Why is this important? Technology is everywhere and many “non-technical” careers are loaded with technology. If you have a high-level understanding of how computer programs are written and work, you can better understand the industry you work in and how decisions are made. We will use the Java programming language to teach these concepts but what you learn will apply to most other programming languages you will encounter in further educational studies or in the workplace. In addition, you will be working on Dual Credit by earning college credit.

If there are books and materials for this course, they can be purchased from our Online Bookstore.
