Computer Programming Class Use of This Site

A Note for Teachers:

This site was deliberately designed so it could be used as a supplemental internet resource for your computer programming class. Each page provides a different programming tip. Some of these are fairly common programming tasks that you may be teaching in your class. Others are more obscure, and while you might not spend time teaching them, you might want your students to take a look at them.

Each page gives code snippets in BASIC, and although you might be teaching another language, the examples use little that it specific to BASIC - in other words, if your students follow the explanations, they should be able to convert the code easily into another language.

At the end of each page there is a section titled "Other Scenarios". These are additional exercises that your students might try, to make sure they understand the concepts of the page. You may assign one or more pages from this site as homework assignments, or you might want to consider using the pages as enrichment activities for some of your students.

I hope you find these pages useful. If you have another topic you would like to see written up on these pages, click the contact link and send me a note.

Enjoy!
