Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our school is comprised of our city’s most talented young people, dedicated teachers and staff. We take great pride in the rigor of our curriculum, the quality of our instruction, and the performance of our students. Our students are serious scholars who constantly strive for success. Their determination ensures that they are the up-and-coming leaders of tomorrow.

To our students failure is not an option; it is just another obstacle waiting to be overcome.

They believe with hard work and perseverance anything is achievable. They are excited to be in school and look forward to each days encounters.

My students enjoy being challenged and love challenging their teachers. They not only question everything they seek out and find the answers.

Our students, for lack of a better word, are exceptional. While our students are serious scholars they are very involved in all aspects of school. They belong to various clubs in the school, are involved in athletics, and tap into the creative minds through the arts. They are on their way to becoming well rounded and productive members of society.

My Project

Future computer programmers need the best resources to guarantee they get the job done. Our AP Computer science class is in its infancy, and the students require the best textbook to be successful.

This textbook teaches the essential concepts in computer programming, and goes above and beyond what is needed for the APCS exam.

It provides a course rather than a review. Much of the narrative is in the form of a conversation, which students find engaging.

The concepts are introduced in a logical and comprehensive manner, and builds on previous sections that provides lasting understanding. It is an extremely important text for students wanting to succeed on the APCS exam and further their studies in computer science.

Most chapters include hands-on labs and case studies, and many come with an executable .jar file so students can see a functioning example of the final product. With the GUI supplied, students apply what they're learning in a given chapter, and they're rewarded with a working game or simulation.

Starter code can be downloaded from the book's companion web site. Included in the downloaded student files are answers to some of the end-of-chapter exercises. There are variety of drills that are presented in this textbook: questions in a variety of formats, hands-on computer exercises, and problems to solve many significantly more challenging than they appear on the surface.
