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.
Class experience
College Level Computer Science This is Unit 1 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. (See diagrams in...

Homework Offered
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.2 - 4 hours per week outside of class

Grades Offered
In unit one, there will be no outside sources. In later units, we will be looking at the Java website for reference. We may read short articles on a variety of computer topics. No book is necessary for this course. Most students will want to purchase a good book for reference, however. I will have suggestions.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Eclipse is an "Integrated Development Environment" which allows the learner to write and run code. It is a widely used in the software development world. The learner (or parent) will download Eclipse from the IBM web site and then use it locally on their own computer. Eclipse may be downloaded freely, with no identifying information required. The learner is welcome to use a different IDE, although I will not be able to help them with it.
This class uses Eclipse.
