INTRO. TO PROGRAMMING - JAVA, PART 1

Price: $125 | Credits: One Semester | Dept: Science (Interdisciplinary) | Course ID# 272-1

In this course, students will learn how to write their first Java program. The course covers program design, variables, expressions and operator declarations, the use of primitive and reference types and other data structures, control structures and operations. No previous knowledge of programming is required for this course but we recommend students are at the Algebra 2 level of math as many mathematical concepts are used in programming. Introduction to Programming Java is approved by the University of California A-G as an interdisciplinary Science – Computer (category D). It can be used as an additional science (i.e., third year and beyond).

Upon completion of this course, the student is awarded 5 credits. Each credit corresponds to 15 hours of study. Of course, some students work more quickly than others, and some can devote more hours to study, so some students are able to complete the course in an accelerated rate.
