Java Programming I
In this 1 or 2 week course, that meets for approximately 1 1/2 hours, the student will learn Object-Oriented-Programming and the basic logic of all programming languages. This is one of the steps toward the AP Computer Science A course.

Beginner Level
This is a basic course that assumes no prior knowledge of programming or IDEs. The student will use the NetBeans IDE to create programs using the basic logic, technical vocabulary, and control structures. Projects will be completed using logic and code discussed in class to ensure understanding. We will meet in an online class environment to walk through each topic. Alternative solutions will be a topic for the group as we move through the course. The student will be ready for Java Programming II, if the course is completed successfully. Download the NetBeans IDE bundled with the Java JDK/SDK before class. The link is provided in the materials area.
Learning Goals
Students will code and run programs starting with basic logic. The class will proceed through control structures including 'if', 'if-else', and the 3 basic loops. The student will be prepared for the next level of programming logic.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from University of Central Florida
I have been teaching for 30+ years. For more than 20 years, I have taught AP Computer Science A and all the classes that lead to that level. Courses that I have taught include Intro to Programming using Java Applets, Programming I and II, Honors C++, AP Computer Science A, Lego Robotics, FTC Robotics, and FRC Robotics. As you can see, there are courses for learners of all levels. I understand that not all students learn the same way, so I incorporate kinetic, visual, and auditory learning styles in my lessons. Hear it, see it, do it.
I love ending classes with a project that the students can continue building on their own. The projects are real world applications so they can relate to the practical use of applications. I encourage independent research on all levels.Reviews
