Course Description: College Computer Science Essentials (CSE) introduces students to coding fundamentals through an approachable, block-based programming language where they will have early success in creating usable apps. As students sharpen their computational thinking skills, they will transition to programming and text-based programming side-by-side. Finally, students learn the power of text-based programming as they are introduced to the Python® programming language.
