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...

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
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.
