About the course

This course is a second semester of study in introductory computer science, designed for students who have completed one of MCS 260, CS 107, CS 109, or CS 111.

In this course we focus on learning the Python programming language more deeply, including the use of popular add-on modules for web development, scientific computing, and databases. We also cover some fundamental data structures and algorithms, and we introduce some important programming tools such as version control systems.

This is the public archival site for course materials from Spring 2024. The course site was originally located in UIC's Blackboard Learn LMS.
