This week, we focused on setting up our tools and refreshing some basic Java skills. We started by learning to use IntelliJ. It was my first time working with this software (I used Eclipse for my previous courses), so I spent time exploring its features. I already see a lot of powerful tools in IntelliJ, and I'm excited to explore more as we go.
We also brushed up on Java basics. We used CodingBat for practice, which was helpful in recalling my memory of some core concepts. The exercises were short, but they made me think carefully about syntax and logic.
Another topics that we covered this week were JUnit and UML. JUnit is for testing Java code to make sure it works as expected. Understanding JUnit feels important because testing will be a big part of making sure our code is reliable. UML helps visualize and plan out code structure before we start writing it. This part was a bit new for me, but I can see how it could make complex projects easier to understand.
Overall, I’ve made a good start in this course and am very excited to dive deeper into programming and software design, which I’ve been wanting to explore for a long time.
