App Development 1

This week, students will spend our first two class days of the week working on our first end-of-unit-app challenge, Hello World.  For this app, students will demonstrate their knowledge of labels and buttons.  Students will also highlight how they can make changes to these items in the storyboard as well as within our code.  To finish off the week, we will talk about UIViews and Textfields.






App Development 2

This week, students will continue our study on persistent data with our "Persistence Challenge".  After this, we will do a sample "Shopping List" hackwich as a group to lead into our end of unit app challenge, Assignment Notebook.






AP Computer Science A

This week, we will move into our 8th unit on designing class, inheritance, and interfaces.  This week's focus will be on designing classes more efficiently.  Along with this week, students will need to read chapter 8 in our Big Java textbook, complete the accompanying note template, as well as complete Practice Exercise Set #1 and Review Exercise Set #1.

Programming the Web 1

We will begin the week by finishing up lesson 3 on marking up text with HTML tags, including list tags, quotes, and a variety of div tags.  Once this is done, we will dive into how we can create several pages within a website and how to navigate between them.  Students will need to read chapter 6 in our textbook, complete the accompanying reading guide, and answer ten multiple choice questions.  Additionally, students will show off their knowledge of links by completing web assignments 4a, 4b, and 4c where students will show how to link between pages, create absolute links (to sites like Google), and linking to a fragment (links within a webpage).
