Code Crush: ¡Conquista la programación Java inicial!

 The first meeting pushes students right into the mix with two smaller lessons. 

Lesson 0: What is Java? We will start by introducing the Java programming language and downloading a free and simple compiler to work with. We will create and compile our first program!

Lesson 1 Variables and Data Types: We will go over variables and how their types effect how we use them. We will go over how we name variables and use them.

A sheet of practice exercises and access to the notes will be included. 

 In this lesson we will go over how to make an object and use its methods. We will use the keyword new and explain instantiation using the Scanner class as an example. We will then use its methods to take user input.

 In this lesson we will use the Math class and the Random class. We will create a Random object and use it to find random numbers. We will use the static methods of the Math class and to find quantities like power and trigonometric functions.

A sheet of practice exercises and access to the notes will be included. 

 In this lesson we will look closely at the String class. We will use String methods to modify Strings, or words. We will look at the API, the Java documentation, to understand how provided methods work. We will also take a quick look at the DecimalFormat class.
