- This course is a basic explanation of how programming works. You don't need any existing programming or computer knowledge other than recognizing common computer and software terms. This course extends the Computer Science Principles: Digital Information course that explains how everything we work with in the real world is broken down into binary bits. These bits are the core instructions that code is able to manipulate and control. Also, this course doesn't require any special hardware or software. Associated with this course is a series of programming lab courses. This course isn't based on a specific programming language, that's what are labs are for. The programming labs take the concepts that are in this course and apply them to specific programming languages. For educators, this course covers four of the seven big ideas of the computer science principles curriculum including abstraction, algorithms, programming, and global impact.
