CSE 120 - Programming Languages and Techniques I

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

This will be a fast-paced introduction to the fundamental concepts of programming, with Java as the main experimental vehicle. We assume some previous programming experience at the level of a high school computer science class. If you got at least 4 in the AP Computer Science A or AB exam, you will do great. However, we do not assume you know Java. Basic experience with any programming language (for instance C, C++, VB, PHP, Perl, or Scheme) will be sufficient. A quiz will be given in the second week of class to test your programming knowledge so that you can decide whether the class is for you. If you have never programmed before, you should take CIS 110 first. We will mainly use Java and the DrJava programming environment, but we will also experiment with Python, a higher-level language.
