This course was started on November 28th, 2024. The aim is to teach Java to the members of FRC 8085. It will be assumed that the students know something about computer programming – hopefully, another language. Until then I'm designing the first lesson blind.

• Requirements:
  • IntelliJ IDEA CE (it's free).
  • Java 8 or similar

• Step 1: download Java: https://www.java.com/download/ie_manual.jsp
• Step 2: download IntelliJ IDEA CE: https://www.jetbrains.com.cn/en-us/idea/download

All the programming and development will take place inside standard IDEA projects. The projects below will be listed project by project. One lesson may consist of one or more projects, depending on how well the students take to the projects! Some projects may be skipped and so forth, depending on the students.

• J1-1 Strings
• J1-2 if-else
• J1-3 loops
