programming practices. This course will introduce a
high-level language to illustrate programming basics.
Students will develop and test small OO programs
which loop, make decisions, access arrays, define
classes, instantiate objects, and invoke methods.

CPSC 101 - INTRODUCTION
TO PROGRAMMING II

This course is a continuation of CPSC 100 with
emphasis on more advanced programming
techniques and design, development and test of

large applications. Students will write programs
