What's Going On? March 15th through March 19th

 Thought for the Week

AP Computer Science A

At the beginning of this week, we will work on wrapping up our "Data" lab.  On Monday, we will work with pulling data from a weather website and write some java code to do some simple analysis.  During class on Tuesday, students will have the chance to work with data related to their own interests and do some simple analysis, based on our discussion from earlier this week.  On Wednesday and Thursday, we will begin work on our final unit for the year on searching, sorting, and recursion.  Our focus will be on "recursion", or how a method can call itself.

App Development 2

We will start off this week by wrapping up our "Persistence Code Challenge".  In this challenge, students will work with ways to save different types of data.  The remainder of the week will be devoted to our summative app challenge: Assignment Notebook.  Students will create an assignment notebook app to keep track of assignments and their due dates.

Programming the Web 2

The majority of this week will be spent on our summative forms and tables assignment: St. Mary's Site.  Students will design a form designed to get information from the user and focus on formatting items with the use of tables to get items to line up nicely.  This form will serve as the basis for a future assignment once we learn a little bit of JavaScript.  On Friday, we will begin our JavaScript unit.  Students will learn how to create and process variables.
