Wrapping up my previous project has been bittersweet, but new horizons follow! I am on the hunt for a solid Java project idea to get me started. I don’t have too much experience in java but I can muster something crisp and raw enough to get traction in my learning. Here are a few examples I found online that I might take up for the next challenge!
While my other projects are coming to a swift close, I began to think about what my next step should be in my coding journey. I have many different options in terms of project ideas and different applications for them. For example, I am in the middle of planning for my wedding and could really use an app that could help me organize my progress and payments. Sure, excell could suffice, but there is a good opportunity to practice object oriented programming.
For this, I also thought it would be a good idea to incorporate a different language. I had tried to take up Java before, and now that I don’t have to spend so much time with my volunteer projects, I can focus on reviewing my knowledge and even continue to learn Java. Below I have some notes about the different datatypes and how Java interprets them:
int myNum = 5; // Integer (whole number)
float myFloatNum = 5.99f; // Floating point number
char myLetter = 'D'; // Character
boolean myBool = true; // Boolean
String myText = "Hello"; // String
Data types are divided into two groups:
When I was a kid, my school was in the middle of installing brand new computers and creating a computer lab for students to learn how to type and be mindful of posture. Nowadays there are programs that some schools adopted to be able to teach their kids how to code. I didn’t know about this until I sat down with one of my godsons and asked him about all of his favorite video games. He knew that people wrote code to do it and even said he wanted to enroll in the program that their school had to learn how to code.
Beyond the more obvious benefits of advocating for coding to be taught in schools, here are a few more ! :
Coding requires logical thinking and teaches children how to tackle complex problems by breaking them down into smaller problems which are easier to manage and solve. This process is called decomposition. Even if children never become a professional computer programmer or software engineer, they will benefit from learning to think this way.
The client and team I am currently working with are all about ready to get this project deployed. The bigger question is, how will we be going about it? There are many different ways to deploy and some even local to Github that support static pages. However, the project we are fixing to deploy is most definitely not static.
Multiple services are available at a larger scale that are better tailored for large scale projects. Here are some of the most popular services currently available:
Everything on the internet has some sort of price. There’s always a cost somewhere or some sort of limitation.
