INTRODUCTIONWelcome to Introduction to Computer Programming.
Since this is an introductory course, we won't be dealing with just one programming language in particular. Examples will be taken from a number of programming environments such as JavaScript and Python. More in-depth learning of specific programming languages are dealt with in later programming courses, such as AP Computer Programming (Java). Videos to play first class. (Below)

PREREQUISITES
This course assumes no prior experience with programming. I do, of necessity, assume that the student is able to operate their own system to, at a minimum, install and set up the tools needed to program in at least one computer programming language.
A math advisory of a minimum of a B in your last math class is imposed, so that students can better understand some of the supporting material referenced in this course. If you didn't get a solid B in your last math class, you will struggle in Programming.
