Java Boot Camp is a beginning intensive, hands-on experience with Java. Campers will write, compile, test and troubleshoot Java programs. Students will be introduced to the basics of object oriented programming and the use of various programming structures. These will include basic class structure, creation of methods, top down design and decomposition, proper use of commenting and indentation, effects of inheritance, iterations (for loops and while loops), and decision making (if statements). The lessons will use Karel the Dog to allow students to have fun while they are learning.
