What's Going On? March 11th through March 15th

App Development 1

We are going to start off this week by talking about constraints.  This means we will learn how to hackwich "display a number".  This will refresh our memories on how to get information out of a textfield and modify it.  We will finish our unit with our end of unit app challenge, "Multiply".
precisely place elements on our storyboard so that everything appears exactly where we want it.  After this, we will complete our pre-unit





App Development 2

This week, we will focus on "composition", or how a class is defined.  This concept is similar to inheritance in other programming languages.  Along with this week, students will complete a reading, we will go through a demonstration hackwich as a group, and end the week with a formative composition challenge.




AP Computer Science A

This week, students will have a chance to work on their programming project #8 and demonstrate their knowledge of efficiently designing classes, inheritance, and interfaces.  Once this is complete, we will review for our unit 8 summative assessment.  Our summative programming project and summative assessment will occur on Friday, March 15th.



Programming the Web

This week, students will focus on our sixth lesson of the year.  At this point, students have learned the majority of the HTML structure necessary for adding content to our webpages.  Now we will turn our attention to formatting and style with CSS.  Students will need to read chapters 8 and 9 in our textbook, complete the accompanying reading guide (due Thursday), and answer the ten multiple choice questions (Friday).  Along with the week, students will dive into three web page assignments (6A, 6B, and 6C) in order to start applying some color and text styles.  Students are considered "on pace" for the week if lesson 6 web assignments are uploaded by the end of class on Friday.  



Computer Science Summer Opportunities at WCTC

I recently learned of a couple of summer opportunities in Computer Science at WCTC.  Please check them out if you are interested!
