A [[programming language]] is a formal language that specifies a set of instructions that can be used to produce various kinds of output. <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language</ref>.


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:

* 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.

This wiki supports the learning of high school computer science. Specificially, IB Standard Level and Higher Level Computer Science (years 1 and 2) and two computational design courses, Designing solutions through programming (aka introduction to programming) and Solving complex problems through programming (aka advanced programming).

Target.png Big ideas in Computer Science[edit]

These are the most important concepts and practices for our high school computer science course. They are not in any particular order.


Notes and not-ready-for-learning[edit]

I am taking a graduate program in computer science, and use this wiki to store my notes and learning. The pages below are in note-format and not ready for structured learning.
