In this introduction I will be building code examples for demonstration. I will tell them about the types of Java applications they can learn to build. First I'll make sure they have installed Java Developer Kit. Next check their code editor. How to bring up the console. How to make a source file. How to compile it and run it. If we have enough time I will explain some basics of a source file, object definition, statements, expressions, decisions, loops, fields(data) and methods(subroutines or functions). Next packages(modules). After that I will talk a bit about tools such as integrated development environments(IDE), code repositories(github) and other resources. My goal is to give them necessary basic tools and insightful information so that their curiosity will lead them further.
Learning Goals
How to make a Java source file, compile it and run it. Learn about other coding topics as discussed.The goal is to orient them and give them enough know how to learn more on their own.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
I may show them how to use IRC chat. I will also show them my Facebook group and page. Occasionally programmers don't keep language pg13. Any content I have, say or produce is family friendly.
Supply List
Will need a computer that they can install developer kit, git tool and code editor on. Try to install Java Developer Kit (not JRE but JDK or SDK) and Visual Studio Code(Not MS Visual Studio) VSC is a code editor, MSVS is a full blown IDE for Microsoft programming languages. And install JEdit. Find notepad and console on windows. IDE for Java is Eclipse(free), Netbeans(free) or Intelij Idea (worth the monthly subscription) and Android Studio. I won't cover IDE's in this class except to mention them.
