In this beginning course, we will cover the fundamentals of programming and give students an appreciation for organizing and writing programs using methods and objects through in-class exercises, programming assignments, lectures, and multimedia presentations. Java will be the primary language to help students become familiar with computer programming. JavaScript and HTML will be used to construct a web page. Students will work individually and in small groups to use the introductory material to solve more complex problems. Programming assignments will also be given to further extend the complexity of problems to be solved. No previous computer experience is required.
