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
