"Everyone should know how to program a computer because it teaches you how to think." 

-Steve Jobs

Computer science is more than computers or code; at its core, computer science is a problem solving skill, essential for your life. Computer science is a dynamic and rapidly growing field of study that has become an integral part of the world that we live in today. By studying computer science, you will not only be able to solve complex, challenging problems, but apply these skills to so many other fields that are only now being developed.

Introduction to Computer Science H covers the first half on AP Computer Science course that teaches you how to program in the Java computing language. You will learn how to design solutions to problems, use data structures to organize data, develop and implement algorithms, and analyze solutions.

By any measure Java is one of the top computer languages in the world. A person knowledgeable in java can generally pick up other top rated languages such as Python, Javascript, or C# without too much difficulty. Computer science forms the single largest job market with one of the highest pay rates of the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines.
