Target.png Big ideas in Computer Science[edit]

These are the most important concepts and practices in computer science. They are not in any particular order.


Program.png Languages[edit]

A programming language is a formal language that specifies a set of instructions that can be used to produce various kinds of output. [2].

Our primary languages are Python and PHP. As we learn about Web Science, PHP & Javascript are logical choices. As we learn about Modeling and Simulation, Python is a good match.

Below are languages we cover:

Compiled Languages[edit]

  • We do not deeply study compiled language in the courses I teach. The C programming language is used, only for a "hello world" example, and for students to see and practice the compilation process.

Interpreted Languages[edit]

Database Management Languages[edit]

Markup Languages[edit]

Domain-specific declarative language[edit]

Computer.png Resources[edit]

  • Getting started Everything you need to KNOW and DO in order to get started.
