CMPSCI 121 provides an introduction in problem solving and computer programming using the programming language Java. It teaches how real-world problems can be solved computationally using the programming constructs and data abstractions of a modern programming language. Concepts and techniques covered include data types, expressions, objects, methods, top-down program design, program testing and debugging, state representation, interactive programs, data abstraction, iteration, interfaces, inheritance, lists and arrays. No previous programming experience required.

Our first lecture will be Tuesday January 27, 11:15am-12:30pm in ECSC 119.
