Give your teens computer knowledge that goes far beyond the standard typing and Windows programs they're already familiar with. TeenCoder is designed for high school students interested in computer science as a career, hobby, or looking for a more challenging computer course for their high school requirements!

TeenCoder courses use Microsoft C# and the Visual C# 2010 Express development environment. Microsoft's latest generation programming language, C#, is commonly used in business, academic, and industrial settings. Students will learn to use a free version of the industry standard Microsoft Visual Studio development environments.

Each chapter explains a programming concept in detail with corresponding sample code. Activities at the end of each chapter prompt the student to write their own programs based on the material learned in the chapter; students are encouraged to be creative and personalize their programming projects as they learn to create graphical Windows applications using modern object-oriented design concepts. For the final project, students create a graphical chess game, demonstrating many of the Windows and object-oriented programming skills learned throughout the semester.

Topics covered include:

• Introduction to the C# programming language
• Creating Windows Forms
• Using dialog controls
• C# data types and variables
• User input and flow control
• Math functions and string operations
• C# debugging and exception handling
• Object-oriented programming concepts
• Classes, inheritance, and polymorphism
• Collections, sorting, and recursion
• File Input/Output

  One Semester. Grades 9-12. 267 pages, softcover. CD included.

  TeenCoder Windows Programming is the pre-requisite to the sold-separately TeenCoder Game Programming curriculum. However, the KidCoder is not a prerequisite to TeenCoder Windows Programming. They maintain the same fun, easy-to-learn style as the KidCoder series but cover a wider variety of topics in more depth; students do not need to know anything about computer programming prior to this course.
