Have you used Eclipse before?  While I have used Eclipse before, I am more proficient with and used to Jet Brains’ IntelliJ. Therefore, I will be sticking with IntelliJ, as permitted by the professor.

What languages are you proficient in at this point? I am most proficient in Java and Python. I have some experience with C, but I would like to continue to developing my experience with it. I’d also like to spend some time with C# working with the Unity Game Engine this summer. For web development, I have experience working with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. After having recently completed the databases course, I feel pretty proficient with MySQL as well.

What is your desired field of Computer Science at this point? Software engineering. I’d also like to maintain a presence in CS education as well.

What have you learned this week? This week primarily focused on String manipulation. Having taught AP Computer Science A for the past three years at the high school level, in which the language of study is Java, this was a review for me. However, it was necessary to adhere to the professor’s programming guidelines, so I did have to review his guidelines as well. They are not dissimilar to what I expect my current students to follow.
