Hello and welcome.

This wiki supports the learning of high school computer science.

Created and managed by a current computer science classroom teacher, you are welcomed to participate. If you would like to contribute, please send an email to bill@mackenty.org.

Thank you.

Summer 2017 homework:

  1. Please watch and understand all the videos from crash course computer science. It is an EXCELLENT resource for computer science students.
  2. Please complete your topic for our 2018 case study

Please know from about 29 June to about 7 July I'm going dark and completely unplugging from absolutely everything.

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. [1].

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