Students should have experience in blogging, coding with Jupyter Notebooks, and GitHub Pages; understnding of Linux, Python, Markdown, HTML, and JavaScript is expected. Students have previously established foundation using essential tools and software development processes. Weeks 0-3 will provide a quick review and students will start their Java coding journey.

Students should have understanding of Fundamentals of Programming from Python, JavaScript, or other background. In this Sprint students will become familiar with Java types, booleans, iteration, recursion, using and writing objects through Mini-labs. These labs will introduce AP required aspects of Java, FRQ requirements, and review College Boards 10 Sprints online.

In this Sprint students will continue to become familiar with Java development as they learn Web Development using the Spring Framework. Coding will focus on Restful APIs... receiving requests, working with data, and responding to requests. This will teach key Java concept while using Java Spring framework elements such as a Rest Controller, Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs), Object Relational Model (ORM) and Java Persistent API (JPA).

This period students will perform formal teaching and grading on a College Board or College Articulated topic. There will be opportunities for lessons on fundamentals, extended learning on data structures, and/or FRQs. Student teams will have Jupyter notebooks, give tech talks, and and provide Hacks for homework. Teams need to make sure they review College Board materials and think about ways to help classmates succeed on test. Consider balance of lecture, hands-on practice, and lecture during teaching time. A teaching plan is required and must be reviewed by teacher prior to beginning work.

This will be most creative portion of year for CSA students. Each person within "Student Teams" will have their own specialty within their student project that shows Full Stack competency, requiring Java as backend. Intentions for this period is to have a free and creative period, driven by your Issues and Scrum Board. Student should be able to talk about design, do fe/be coding, addd database features and perform weekly live reviews.

A focus Data Structures that relate to the AP exam. A key requirement is to make your own Algo Rythmic sorting video. The theme is produce work that can be used to help you pass the AP Exam and improve your Passion Project. Each student must cover key concepts from one of the Four AP FRQ types, contain a key Data Structure, and utilize sorting. These requirements are fairly generic and could complement any project.
