About the camp

Java is an object-oriented software programming language and computing platform that drives the core functions of many technologies today, such as Android, Minecraft, and web/desktop applications development. In this camp, students will learn
- to set up a development environment
- to design and organize code in an object-oriented manner.

​We will introduce basic concepts of objects, classes, scope, error handling, input/output, file reading/writing, packages and more. We will use the Eclipse IDE.​

Prerequisites: Some previous experience with a programming language (e.g., Scratch, Python, PERL, Javascript)
​
To optimize instruction and student experience, we are limiting the number of seats available. $365 for the week.
