High School Exploring Computer Science

Welcome to High School Computer Science

The purpose of this wiki is to support student learning for computer science. The intended audience for this wiki is students who are enrolled in Exploring Computer Science.

news News for June 2016 New content is being added a furious pace, and I am delighted to have learned from CS50. This is a wonderful resource I will use going forward to support student learning in computer science. As always, if you are interested in helping contribute to this wiki, please send an email to bill@mackenty.org. Mr. MacKenty (talk) 12:08, 2 June 2016 (CEST) News for May 2016 I am building all of our course stuff for next year. If you would like to help (and earn a grade increase) let me know. Please remember I'm still working on stuff - this site is under construction. Bmackenty (talk) 13:06, 5 May 2016 (CEST) News for April 2016 Welcome to our new classroom website. I am still moving stuff from moodle to here. We are learning about and applying our knowledge about design. I have gotten some feedback that some of you think this is "boring but important". I agree. Please remember what I told you: 1 hour of good design saves you hundreds of hours fixing problems later.
