Introduction to Java Programming 1 is a CodeHS course that teaches students the basics of object-oriented programming with a focus on problem solving and algorithm development. Students learn basic Java, methods, data structures, classes, and object-oriented programming in this course. Lessons consist of video tutorials, short quizzes, example programs to explore, and written programming exercises, adding up to over 100 hours of hands-on programming practice in total. Several units have free response questions that have students consider the applications of programming and incorporate examples from their own lives. At the end of each unit, students take a summative multiple choice unit quiz that assesses their knowledge of the Java concepts covered in the unit. Included in each lesson is a formative short multiple choice quiz.

In this introductory course, students become familiar with the basic principles of a personal computer, including the internal hardware, operating system, and software applications. Students gain practice in using key applications such as word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software, as well as understand social and ethical issues around the Internet, information, and security.
