AP Computer Science goes beyond merely learning how to use applications like word processing, spread sheets, and internet browsers. It uses the Java language and focuses on the basic principles needed to design and build applications. It’s a college level course. At the course’s end, students will be asked to take the AP Computer Science A test. Students have the opportunity to receive college credit for one semester of computer science.
Recommended preparation: Computer Science 1 and Computer Science 2 or demonstration of a solid understanding of Java to the instructor.
Looks like C++...close enough to Java.
