About
We'll be going over the basics of Java in line with the CED (Course and Exam Description) of AP CSA (Computer Science A). I will have both a lecture in the form of a slideshow and some practice with google forms and 3rd party coding websites. Right now I'm covering the first 4 units, but I may add other units as I go along.
