Average rating: 5.0Number of reviews: (2)
Completed by 8 learners
We shall explore Computer Science, first building a computer from basic logic chips, then looking at how languages layout data in memory, how Java creates those structures, culminating with a grand project--a Web Server written in Java.

Description
Class Experience
College Level Computer Science This is Unit 13, the final unit of a year-long course will take you from the basics of digital logic through the design of a computer and into Object Oriented Programming using Java. The successful student will be ready to take many Junior/Senior level college courses. The unique aspect of this course is that I emphasize how memory is used by different languages by using diagrams of memory layout—how you can find one piece of information when you know another....
Day 1: Code exploration: Graphs, Hill Climbing, Secure Hashing Algorithm, Regular Grammars Day 2: Code exploration: Graphs, Public Key Encryption, Hardware-Extreme Day 3: Code exploration: Fasta, BioInformatics, Microbiology Day 4: [Our last day!] Avenues forward, Areas of Computer Science, Thesis Topics, Good Advice
In the first unit, homework will be light, under an hour per class. Once we begin programming in unit two, that will go up to about two hours of programming homework per class hour. There will be occasional short readings in the later units.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
1 hour 50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses Eclipse.
