Welcome to the AP Computer Science blog!

Welcome everyone. This will be your blog, a daily summary of what you learned in class (and/or what confused you). The more work you put into it, the more useful it will be for you and your classmates, and the cooler it will look. Participation is voluntary, but if you volunteer to do it, please be diligent and make sure you post useful information.

Guidelines
  • Start by looking back at your notes and trying to remember what were the BIG ideas of the class.
  • Try to write in a conversational tone, using your own words, so that people who missed class can learn from your post.
  • If there was a common mistake addressed in class, that would also be useful to mention.
  • Feel free to copy and paste pictures from the class notes that I post on the class website.
  • Please use the "preview" button before you publish your post :)
Remember that you're writing in HTML, so if you need help, try googling "HTML help".  When posting code, you should switch to the pure HTML editor and use proper tags before (<pre>) and after (</pre>) your code.  This way it will look all nice and indented.  For example:
for (Student s : apcsStudents) {
  if (s.isVolunteerBlogger()) {
    s.writeBlogPost();
  }
}

Good luck, and ask for help if you need it!

Mr. Jacoby
