Newbie to Java

Hi there is Relon again here to give new users to Java a quick run through of how to get started using Java and getting comfortable by creating a simple project. I know when I started I was definitely a bit afraid to start my Java class as I haven't coded in a very long time but for any newbie starting you will want to visit the Java tutorials website https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/index.html in order to download Java to your computer. Once the page is opened you will look for a box in the lower right hand portion of the webpage that should be labeled Software, in the box it should say Java Development Kit and will link you to the Java downloads page. On the download page you will navigate to your operating system, I installed windows and used the non-compressed option and that the option I would recommend for newbies.

 After the download is completed then the user should navigate back to the Java tutorials page above and open the "Getting Started" link near the top of the page and then open the "The Hello World! Application". Because the Java tutorials page provide instructions for the NetBeans IDE I would recommend using NetBeans as a programmer you will need an integrated development environment (IDE) in order to begin coding. If using NetBeans click the link labeled "Hello World! for the NetBeans IDE" and follow the instructions given to download NetBeans and develop the program. I think the Java tutorials page is also great in terms of giving a new user a better understanding of Java so if you still have questions after visit the getting started page again and use the resource provided labeled "A Closer Look at Hello World!" but other then that Goodluck getting started with Java!

Algorithmic Design and Data Structure Techniques

When it comes to developing structured programs understanding and applying algorithmic design and data structure techniques is crucial. These techniques help in organizing and manipulating data efficiently, leading to more robust and scalable programs in this post, we will explore how to apply these techniques and discuss the importance of choosing appropriate algorithms and data structures for different scenarios. Algorithmic design involves creating step-by-step instructions to solve a specific problem, while data structures refer to organizing and managing data in a program. The choice of algorithms and data structures significantly impacts the performance and efficiency of the program. Are some algorithms and data structure designs better than others? Yes, certain algorithms and data structure designs are more suitable for specific scenarios. The effectiveness of an algorithm or data structure depends on factors such as time complexity, space complexity, and the specific requiremen...

Programming Languages

In the post this week we were tasked with making a program on the website Scratch which allows people to code basic actions, games, and can even add backgrounds or sounds. I enjoyed using the coding tool provided because it does allow you to visualize how the coding process works also it gave you the ability to make interesting products from the code that the user puts together. I’ve taken coding classes in the past so in my option it was tough to look at the coding blocks and see what I was supposed to do but this was simply because I have former experience coding in C++, C, and Java. Overcoming the difficulties with the coding was by simply taking the time to test out the coding blocks and see how they functioned which is very similar to true coding where an answer may just take creative thinking and throwing idea against the wall and checking if it sticks. Along with the activities that we completed in the textbook I feel like I’m comfortable with getting back into coding and as I s...
