general information:
Computer Science 51 is an introduction to programming using the Java programming language. By the end of this course you should have a good basic understanding of how to develop (design, code, and debug) medium-sized programs in Java, and have a basic understanding of how one might analyze programs for correctness and efficiency.
We do not assume you have had any previous programming experience for this course. If you have had extensive previous experience, cs52 or cs62 might be more appropriate. Feel free to discuss this with myself or any of the other CS faculty.
