Lake Mary Preparatory School

Computer Programming (JAVA)
The purpose of this course is to enable students to develop knowledge of programming concepts and one or more languages. The course will include, but not be limited to, the following: programming concepts and techniques, development and use of programming language(s), sequential, logical problem solving, algorithms and flowcharts, syntax, vocabulary, and data structures, writing, testing, and debugging computer programs, ethical, social, and historical implications. Students will learn, in a hands-on laboratory setting, the fundamentals of object -oriented design through an in-depth study and analysis of the java programming language. Our textbook will be Java Programming by Joyce Farrell, third edition. Students will perform various projects and laboratory tasks throughout the year as outlined in the textbook and class lectures.

High School Programming Competitions
Students will compete in the ACM sponsored High School Programming Competitions held at Stetson University and the University of Central Florida. This is a great opportunity for students to put their skills to the test in an exciting, competitive , and most importantly, fun setting. Prizes include scholarships to the respective universities.
