These directions are called programs, and people who write programs are called programmers. Computer Programming I is designed as a beginning programming course. Students will learn to develop a plan to solve a programming problem and then write programs to solve the problem. The programs for this class will be written in a programming language called Visual Basic.

This course is designed to be a continuation of Computer Programming I.
