AP Computer Science A

This course is the equivalent of a college-level introductory Computer Science course. The course uses the Java programming language and emphasizes object-oriented programming. Topics covered include the design of solutions to problems, the use of data structures to organize large sets of data, the development and implementation of algorithms to process data and discover new information, the analysis of potential solutions, and the social implications of computing systems. On successful completion of this course, students will be prepared to sit the AP Computer Science A exam.
Note: Students will require regular access to a laptop or desktop computer running any standard Operating System.
