This one-semester course is intended for students who possess some programming experience or who have successfully completed Computer Programming 1 (CSC161 or CSC162) and seek a deeper understanding of computer programming concepts. The Java language continues to enjoy worldwide popularity. Due to Java’s longevity, available support for Java is extensive and many industries make use of Java-based applications. Java developers continue to be in high demand. Java is highly portable (as it can run on many computer platforms) and provides an easy-to-learn introduction to the world of object-oriented program design. This course reviews foundational coding frameworks and concepts and introduces students to object-oriented design using the Java programming language. Students will explore and work with various data types, input and output commands, conditional statements, Boolean operators (and, or, not), looping structures, common algorithms and arrays. Successful completion of this one-semester course prepares the student for Mobile App Development (CSC251/252) and AP Computer Science A (CSC391/392).
