AP Computer Science is an approximate equivalent to a one semester, university level computer science curriculum. Some of the skills that students will obtain during this year long class include, but are not limited to: logical flow and operations, basic Java concepts (variables, if statements, loops, arrays), object-oriented design, among a host of other useful tools that any beginning programmer needs. While math and computer science go hand in hand that is not to say that you need to be good at either to do the other. The process of programming is more about the logical design, debugging, operation, and execution of solving problems using the programming tools we will learn throughout this course.
