This course will serve as a comprehensive introduction to the programming language Java. Arguably the most popular programming language in the world, Java has its origins all the way back in the mid-1990s, known for its being supported on a wide variety of platforms, as well as its power. Through simultaneous explanations from tutors and interactive walkthroughs of code, students will solidify their understanding of fundamental programming concepts, as well as powerful language-specific features that will allow them to develop useful and efficient projects.
Class Days/Timings: Sundays, 3:00-4:00 PM
Start/End Dates: Feb. 14 → March 21 → Spring Break → April 4 → May 9
This course will serve as a comprehensive introduction to the field of Web Development using the markup languages HTML and CSS. Students will learn how to create the overall structure of a website using HTML, and add styling with CSS. By modifying the traditional class format of a lecture followed by application, this course combines the two, placing a very heavy emphasis on learning by doing. This innovative model allows students to more effectively internalize the enormous amount of information associated with the languages, and more importantly, the critical thinking of when, where, and how to apply certain methods and techniques. By the end of the course, students will have built their own public, personal website that can be viewed from anywhere.
