Who Should Take This Course

This course is the second half of Adelphi's first-year programming sequence for computer science majors and minors. It assumes you have taken the first half, CSC 171, or the equivalent, in C++; if your first programming class was at another school or in other than C++, talk to me and we'll work it out. If you've never taken a programming course at all, you should take either CSC 160 (``A First Course in Computer Programming'') or CSC 171 first; talk to me to choose between those.

If you want to learn how to use a computer (for word processing, spreadsheets, databases, Web browsing, email, etc.) and perhaps create your own Web page, but not write full computer programs yourself, you should probably take CSC 170, ``Introduction to Computers and Their Applications'', instead.
