Students should have experience in blogging, coding with Jupyter Notebooks, and GitHub Pages. Understanding of Linux, Python, Markdown, HTML, and JavaScript is expected. Students have previously established a foundation using essential tools and software development processes. Weeks 0-3 will provide a quick review, and students will start their Java coding journey.
Students should have an understanding of Fundamentals of Programming from Python, JavaScript, or other backgrounds. In this Unit, students will become familiar with Java types, booleans, iteration, recursion, using and writing objects through Mini-labs. These labs will introduce AP required aspects of Java, FRQ requirements, and review College Board's 10 Units online.

This will be the most creative portion of the year for CSA students. The objective of these weeks is to explore, create ideas, and code concepts that have the growth potential to enable a two-trimester project. Consider frontend design, draw.io database modeling, API plans, JWT designs, big data solutions, and future usefulness. The ideas and code that are most liked by Teachers and Students will be continued and used for N@tM projects. Students should be able to talk about design, do fe/be coding, add data and data structure, add database features, and perform weekly live reviews.
