Course Overview:

This Computer Programming with Java online course is a less rigorous version of the AP Computer Science A course offered by 2Sigma School. Through an organized presentation that includes object-oriented concepts, standard logic algorithms, and hands-on programming projects, each student will develop and strengthen their ability to conceptualize and solve problems through the implementation of effective solutions. Using the Java programming language, students will explore data encapsulation, class and method constructs, standard programming algorithms, programming methodology, and syntax structures. 

In Semester A, they will begin with an introduction to the curriculum, covering the history of computing, digital data representation, and ethical considerations in computer science. They’ll then move on to fundamental programming concepts, such as primitive types, object-oriented programming, boolean expressions, and iteration using loops. Semester B continues with more advanced topics, including arrays and ArrayLists, algorithms, 2D arrays, inheritance, and recursion. Along the way, students will learn about Java programming, data structures, object-oriented principles, and problem-solving techniques.
