203 Introduction to Programming

Many of the systems and devices we depend on today rely on computer programming. In this class, we will explore the concepts behind programming through a variety of different programming languages. If you are curious about what makes webpages look like they do, how to get a computer to do mathematics, or how to control devices such as lights, sensors or motors, then this class will introduce you to these ideas and more. The programs you write may be used on a single computer or may be used on websites. Computer languages in this course may include HTML, Scratch, Python and C. This class is considered the introductory course in Computer Science, and is a prerequisite for other classes in the DHS Computer Science department.
