Description:
CS 110, commonly referred to as "CS 1," is an introductory study of computer science software development concepts. Java is used to introduce a disciplined approach to problem solving methods, algorithm development, software design, coding, debugging, testing, and documentation in the object oriented paradigm. This is the first course in the study of computer science.

Objectives:
The student is expected to develop an understanding of some of the fundamentals concepts of computer science, such as algorithm development, abstraction, debugging, reliability, and security. The student will also strengthen their problem solving skills.
