All college bound students are encouraged to take at least one course in computer programming.
Colleges strongly recommend one or more semesters of computer programming.
Learning programming helps students develop logical thinking, organization, and problem solving skills. The beginning level course is recommended for all college bound students plus others with an interest in programming. The primary structures of any language are explained. Students then write programs and key them into the computer via a word processor. The course emphasizes hands-on operation of the computer.
