Course Descriptions:
Computer Programming I (VB)
A beginning through intermediate course in computer programming/software
engineering and applications. The course introduces students to
the fundamentals of computer programming, simple control and data
structures, basic operating system commands, sequential files,
arrays, classes, recursive processes, and the use of text files.
Students will learn to design, code, and test their own programs.
It is recommended that teachers use the Scheme system to introduce
programming concepts and problem solving skills to beginning programming
students, followed by an introduction to C++, Visual Basic or
Java. Prerequisite: Completion of, or concurrent enrollment
in Algebra I, Keyboarding Proficiency and Computer Technology
(Computer Literary)
