Java Day One...Still Alive ?

My Background

Oh Java, one of the many languages of the programming world. People have their pros and cons on why they pick a certain language when it coems to coding. They know what works for them and what doesn’t. However for me, I’ve only coded on Java explictly. I have not tried any other lagnuage besides Java. Is that a good thing you may ask? Im not sure yet, however from what I’ve done so far, I’m a fan of Java.

During my first couple of ICS courses, I used the application Eclipse to write code. It was a good program that would tell you where you would go wrong. It was a bit difficult to set up, but it was worth it in the end. I completed a few projects with Java on Eclipse and was happy with the results. After then, that leads me to about a week ago when I started to code using a website called jsFiddle([https://jsfiddle.net]). This is a Java coding site based online where you are able to write code and store it online.

jsFiddle so far…

So far my experience with this site is both good and bad. The part I liked is that the setup was very easy. All I had to do was type the url in my favorite browser and I could start coding. There was no additional installations or programs required which was relief. The only downside I have so far it that I don’t know where exactly my “saved” code goes. Everytime I save my code, I cant seem to find it. The work around this is just for me to save the url, that way I’m always able to access it.

Java Now

Since the last time I used Java to now, I have learned a bit more stuff. One of them being the difference between the declaration var and let/const. It didnt take me long to get used to using let instead of var. A very small change but nothing I cant handle.
