Instructor: Ms. Julie Hauber (jhauber@ashrosary.org; jhauber@wave.tcs.tulane.edu)
Classroom: Room 205W, High School Computer Lab
Class Time: Class meets each day during Day B Period 3 (11:40 pm-1:10 pm) for one semester
Resources: A Guide to Programming in C++ by Tim Corica, Beth Brown, and Bruce Presley. Handouts and class notes; Borland's Turbo C++ compiler
Required Notebook and folder for notes, handouts, assignments, and printouts; floppy disk(s): 3 ½" 1.44 MB high density
Objectives: The fundamentals of the C++ programming language will be introduced. Students will gain a basic understanding of the C++ language structure and the problem-solving techniques used in programming. They will demonstrate proficiency in the use of the C++ language, design, code, and testing C++ programs. Because C++ inherits expressions and syntax from the C language, C programs will be used periodically to develop knowledge of C++. (The course assumes no previous programming experience. )
