COMP 102 - Intro. to Computer Science
A new quarter begins and new knowledge
awaits!
Welcome to Programming Basics for JavaScript/Web Development
(COMP 102).
This half-unit course introduces the general algorithmic
(disciplined, step-by-step) approach to problem solving, and
the basic concepts of computer programming in the context of
developing dynamic web pages using JavaScript.
Computing is like solving puzzles. Sometimes everything falls nicely into place, but sometimes you get stuck. Then you try a few things, step back and try to look at the puzzle from a new angle, or take a break. And then, frequently, when one bit falls into place, you find big chunks falling into place around it. The same thing happens with computing. Give yourself time to experiment, to get stuck, to ask questions, and to experience the satisfaction of a well-solved puzzle!
We have an awesome group of TAs at the CS Collaboration Center where you can go and ask any questions you have. And, of course, my office hours are available to you. Check my weekly schedule and please stop by: we can talk about the things you don't understand, the things you do, and other related (or unrelated) topics.
One last thing:
