Happy New Year!

Welcome back! We've got a just a couple of weeks until the end of the semester, so I hope you don't mind if we ease back into things with a review of the material we've covered to this point. :)

Following that, we'll spend a few days learning how to use GitHub to manage larger projects. This material won't be covered on the AP exam, but it's a vital tool for anyone doing programming or software engineering. We'll be using it to manage some of our projects next semester.

I'll see you in class!

Thankful

We've had some good fun these past couple of weeks, learning how to use loops (while and for) for doing all sorts of things, including tracking a random walker and processing digital images.

Loops will continue to be useful for us as we begin studying an important data structure, the Collection. It'll change your life!

Of course we have a week break for Thanksgiving, which will be a nice opportunity to catch our collective breath. (See what I did there?)

I'll see you in class!

Welcome back!

You've had a week off, either enjoying the outdoors or working on your college recs. I hope you also had the chance to get a little rest, too.

We'll pick up where we left off, completing our introduction to if-else (conditional) statements... and then it's on to one of the most important topics that we'll be seeing all year: objects, classes, and methods.

You're going to be amazed!

I'll see you in class...

Welcome back!

I am so very excited to be working with you this year in your AP Computer Science class. Whether you already know a little programming/Java or are a complete beginner, this course is going to provide you with the skills you need to take things to the next level.

We're going to have an awesome time in here this year. I'm looking forward to it!

See you in class!

Happy Summer!

Hope you're getting some well-deserved rest and relaxation this summer! If I get to work with you next year, I'm already looking forward to it... :)

See you in August!
