Program Description:

Computer Programming
Computer Programming provides opportunities for students to explore advanced programming topics. Students write programs using structured programming techniques, use a problem-solving approach to implement one or more large programs, and complete in-depth work with text files and arrays. Emphasis is placed on continuing the development of effective problem-solving techniques individually and in project management teams. Visual BASIC, C++, and Java programming languages are applied to these concepts in the courses.
