Welcome to CS131! This class is designed for students who plan to be Computer Science majors and transfer to a 4-year college. This is the third semester course in C++. You must have completed CS121 before taking this class. This class meets 3 hours each week because there is no lab.

We will be using both C++ native code as well as Windows Forms GUI code.
I have placed the sample projects and other materials on this page for you. Click on the presentation you want to review. To download a project, click on the item here and Windows will ask where to save your file. It is easiest to save them on your desktop and move them later.
