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.
