Welcome to Computer Programming class. I'm looking forward to working with each of you as you learn to understand your computer better and learn to tell it what you want it to do! We will be working with a few different resources as we learn to program. Much of our time will be spent working on projects, but we will also spend a portion of each day discussing a new topic. You will need to come to this site each day as the first thing in order to get your instructions. This page will also be my way of giving you links to certain sites.
On the side you see a few links to the web-based texts we will be using.
One of your major assignments each day will be to post an entry on your own blog page. As such the first thing you need to do today is to create your own page. If you already have a blog, that is fine, but for this class all of your posts need to deal with programming class. The easiest thing is for you to create another blog for this class. You can go to blogger.com to set up your own blog. Please do that now, then click on the comment link on this page and give me your address and name. I will be adding a link to your blog on this page and I will be checking it each day to see that you have posted and to see what you are struggling with or enjoying about the day's lesson. You will be required to post each day!
Once you have created your page and commented here with your link, please click on the link: How To Think Like a Computer Scientist and read the first chapter. Create your first post discussing the things you learned in the reading.
