I hope everybody is healthy and doing well. For this next week, I would like everybody to choose a preferred development environment in which to write code. For single class programs, you may use the online compiler at: https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_java_compiler from the website www.onlinegdb.com. This was the site we used in the intro class at the beginning of the year for the C++ coding that we did. This site will be sufficient for most of the assignments that require a single class that needs to compiled. For the programming assignments that contain more advanced concepts and use multiple class files, you should download the JDK - java development kit standard edition (SE) and an interactive development environment of your choice. I am including instructions below that give the links and instructions for downloading 1)the JDK, 2) API Documentation and 3) a development environment called Eclipse in which you can write your code. It is not the same as we use in class, but it is more up to date and works very well. It also has a very good tutorial explaining the ins and outs of learning to use the Eclipse IDE. It is free to download and use and is from legitimate sources. For this next week, please practice writing some of your old programs using onlinegdb and especially the Eclipse IDE, and getting them to compile and execute correctly. Next week, we will start some new projects. Again, the instructions to find and download the JDK and Eclipse IDE are below. Over this past week, the information that I have been receiving from the College Board regarding the AP Exam has been modified a number of times due to the quickly changing situation with the Corona Virus. I have been frequently checking the updated information they have been sending to me. As of now, the exam is still going to be given. There will most likely be modifications. I will post updates later this week once the situation firms up a bit more. Stay safe and stay healthy!!! Mr. K. Comments are closed.
