Welcome to Computer Applications with BlueJ. In this course, I will teach you Computer Applications as per the syllabus prescribed by Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) for class 10.

You have made a great decision by opting for Computer Applications as one of the subjects for your ICSE board examination. “Software is eating the world”, Marc Andreessen (Co-founder of Netscape and one of the most successful VC in the silicon valley) made this very important quote in his famous August 2011 essay. Today, programming and software have disrupted all the industries. Every major company is re-imaging itself by using software at the core of its offerings.
