3. Computer Programming  Description  CP 1: This course provides an introduction to computer programming in the Java language. This course emphasizes developing good problem solving and programming skills.  CP 2: The mathematics/logic involved is more extensive than the previous course.  AP CS: This course provides students with the content established by the College Board. Topics include: object-oriented program design, program implementation, program analysis, standard data structures, standard algorithms, and computing in context. The course emphasizes object-oriented programming methodology with a concentration on problem solving and algorithm development.

4. Computer Programming  Outcomes  Use and interact with objects and classes.  Implement classes that interact with other classes, including library classes.  Group objects into collections and iterate over the collections.  Test and debug programs, and write helpful documentation.  Improve the structure of a program with inheritance.  Choose the classes to implement a solution to a problem.  Strategy for Success  Work as individually as possible!

5. Computer Programming  Materials  Calendar  CP 1: Objects and Classes, Class Definitions, Object Interaction, Grouping Objects, Sophisticated Behavior  CP 2: Well-Behaved Objects, Designing Classes, Inheritance, More Inheritance, Flexible Class Structures  AP CS: Error Handling, Designing Applications, Library Issues, GridWorld Case Study, Other AP Exam Topics
