[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WJ actually used to offer even more options with a Computer Programming level 3 that students could take after AP. It would be nice if they brought that back in the future.

For a serious CS student[b] I would recommend skipping AP CS Principles[/b] and take the following:

9th grade - Computer Programming 1 (and maybe also Foundations of Computer Science since it is the only CS class that counts towards the tech ed requirement).
10th grade - AP Computer Programming 
11th - Web Dev (a basic class but by 11th grade your student will be taking more hard core science classes and will enjoy the break)
12th - Advanced Web Dev[/quote]
No, you cant skip it, because it is the only one that counts as a tech credit (FOCS and FOT do too, but those are definitely not worth it). Unless of course you want to just pop $600 and take FOCS online in the summer after 8th grade to get the tech credit out of the way. (We did this for my RMIB magnet student with zero interest in tech).[/quote]
