AP Computer Science!

Introduction to Tools and Resources

The initial weeks focus on introducing Tools, Pair Programming, and the AP Resources that we plan to use throughout the year. At the end of Weeks 0-3, students will be exposed to blogging with GitHub Pages; developing with Jupyter Notebooks, Python, JavaScript, HTML, and Code.org AppLab; working with AP classroom and becoming familiar with Create Performance Task project requirements.

Introduction to Web Development

Websites are made up of three key parts: Frontend, Backend, and Deployment. The focus for these weeks is to enable students to perform all the aspects of constructing constructing and deploying a Website. Fastpages got us started on these concepts, but now we will build a Website from the ground up. Once again, there will be a lot of learning focused tools and getting things working. But, in the end, students will be ready to learn all aspects of Website Development.

Fundamental of Programming and Algorithms

The tough solutions to problems in Computer Science generally require an algorithm. Each algorithm usually involves data, for instance Data Science is a field that focuses on data with algorithms. The next few week focuses on some very detailed algorithms, but we hope to express these details visually with our Web and Blogging capabilities. Data and binary are sometimes considered boring, but we produce data with analytics or learn to alter the internals of images, the data and algorithms can become VERY interesting.
