Gain the essential skills for computer science using one of today's
most popular programming languages, Java. This book will prepare
you for AP CompSci Complete, but you don't need to be sitting that
class to benefit. Computer science has become a basic life skill
that everyone is going to need to learn. Whether you are going into
a career or side hustle in business, technology, creativity,
architecture, or almost any other field, you will find coding and
computer science play a role. So when we learn programming we are
going to focus on three things: what is the process; what is the
syntax; and what is the flow. The process is represented as a
flowchart. We will learn how to make these to help you plan out
what you are going to do before you write a line of code. At first,
the flowcharts will be pretty simple, but then they will get more
complex. The syntax is the code: this is what you write that
translates the process you create in a flowchart to the
instructions that the computer can understand. Finally, there is
the flow. This is where you trace through the code and see how the
data and information it stores along the way changes. You can see
how the operation of the program cascades from line to line. You
will be building charts that will capture the programming flow so
you can better understand how the computer processes code to make
your next program easier to conceive and code. Along the way to aid
in the learning of the essential Java skills, there will be three
kinds of project types throughout this book: business software
projects for applications where you work for a company and need to
complete an internal project for a team such as the sales,
marketing, or data science teams; social good projects where you
are working for non-profits or for agencies that are trying to
research and provide solutions to economic, environmental, medical,
or humanitarian projects; and game development projects for games
based on player input, random chance, or other mechanics for the
use of entertainment. What is unique about computer science is how
it has become a skill, and not just a career. While there are jobs
and titles of "computer scientist", the skill of computer science,
and specifically programming, are almost everywhere. After reading
and using this book, you'll have the essential skills to think like
a computer scientist, even if you are not. As a result you'll be of
greater value to your clients, your company, and yourself. What You
Will Learn Discover the primary building blocks of programming
using the Java programming language See terminology and best
practices of software development Work with object-oriented
programming concepts Use common-language definitions and examples
to help drive understanding and comprehension of computer science
fundamentals Who This Book Is For Those who want to learn
programming and want to think like a computer scientist. Ideal for
anyone taking AP CompSci Complete.
