Today was a great session about Java in education

From Oracle

• Alice – a block based language with Java constructs
• Greenfoot – also for kids learning games in Java
• Oracle’s Education in Java page

Resources from Ken Fogel’s talk

• Sample code showing Java brevity
• Single File Source Code Execution (I really like being able to write java MyProgram.java). Way less explanation for new programmers!
• Type /edit in JShell to open in an external editor (I didn’t know about this – cool)

Other resources I like

• Online IDEs
  • https://repl.it/languages/java10
