About

This series is primarily for those taking AP Computer Science A this year, though anyone can join. It covers half of the school year. Each session will be highly interactive. That way, I can see how you perform and help provide timely feedback when necessary. This series will taught in Java to match the AP curriculum, though programming languages aren't too different from each other.
