Series Details

About

A course that serves as a passageway into the world of programming using Java. Please make sure to have a computer/laptop (doesn't have to be fancy)! This class plans to go from basic Java such as boilerplate code, and ends off on inheritance/interfaces. (It's ok if you don't know what that means!)

Tutor Qualifications

Taking AP CS A which is taught in Java, have built a couple apps in the past and plan to major in Computer Science.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You will be withdrawn from the series if you have more than 5 unexcused absences because every session builds on each other. Please message me in advance for any absences!

About the Tutor

I'm a high school senior from Washington state and I'm planning to major in Computer Science. I have some experience in programming such as developing a weather webapp in JavaScript and a "Virtual Assistant" in Python. I'm currently working on developing applications for Amazon Alexa and Android.
