The course emphasizes programming methodology, procedural abstraction, and in-depth study of algorithms, data structures, and data abstractions. Instruction includes preparation for the AP Computer Science A Exam.

In this course students will write programs in the JAVA and HTML programming languages. JAVA is used throughout industry and is the programming language used on the AP Computer Science test. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the predominant markup language for web pages. HTML elements are the basic building-blocks of webpages.
