 Course Website Printable Page

In this section of CIS 1.5 students will receive a general introduction to computer science while they learn to program a computer using the C++ language in the context of computer graphics and video games. Initially, the graphics tool Scratch will be used to introduce programming concepts. Students will be shown how to compile and run their programs using the Code::Blocks C++ compiler. They will also be given instructions describing how they can put a copy of Code::Blocks on their own computers at home. For homework, students will practice simple programming constructs using Code::Blocks, which runs on the Internet. Students in this section will also take the common final exam. Taking this section will prepare students for any section of CIS 15 in subsequent semesters.
