APCPS: Agenda

The majority of this week will be spent on Activity 1.2.3: Apple Avalanche.  In this activity, students will work in pairs in order to learn how to apply the idea of abstraction in order to remove some of the complexity of a program, making the program easier to write and read.

App Development

This week, students will be working on their second summative app challenge for the year: Multiply.  In this project, students will work to make a simple calculator that multiplies two numbers and displays the results.  Once we get the basics down, students will add more complicated options such as displaying one of three pictures, based on the math problem result and adding additional arithmetic operations to the calculator.

Programming the Web 1

This week, students will work with the "Box Model".  Students will experiment with adding margin,
padding, and borders to our webpage in order to enhance its design.  Students will read chapter 14 in our book and complete the reading guide by Tuesday's class.  Students will also work on Web Assignment 8A: a tutorial assignment from our textbook.  The rest of the week will be spent reviewing for our midterm assignment that will take place during the week of November 8th.
