About

This course engages students with little or no programming experience to create Java programs. Participants are introduced to object oriented programming concepts, terminology, and syntax, and the steps required to create basic Java programs using the Alice, Green foot, and Eclipse interactive development environments. Hand-on practices figure prominently throughout this course so students can experience firsthand the power of computer programming.
