What's NEW this week on Learn.java? - Added some tutorial videos to the array and 2D array pages - Added a new AP CSA FRQ 4 on 2D Array (learn.java/teachers/apc...)

We've embedded the Java Playground into tutorials and practice! Check it out: https://social.ora.cl/6013AkVSD

Hear from Tammy Pirmann, professor from Drexel University, on how she uses students' interests to drive engagement and help students uncover the power of computer science. https://social.ora.cl/6018fWimM

Learn how to use pattern matching with records and switch case patterns to write program code that is more readable. https://social.ora.cl/6019AD9mT

A new #APCSA Free Response question for FRQ 4: 2D array has been posted. Check it out: learn.java/learning/les...

Lots of teachers get the "what is it like to be a software engineer" question. Jim has many podcasts on Duke's Corner where you can hear from professionals about the work that they do. Loved meeting Chris. He has a great story! Give it a listen!

Just added some video tutorials to our 2D array pages. Tracing through code can help to make meaning of the syntax and make it more concrete. - Introduction to Two-Dimensional Arrays: lnkd.in/eHx9KmnR - Iterating Over Two-Dimensional Arrays: lnkd.in/eFf95Kq6

Just added some video tutorials to our Array Learn pages. Tracing through code can help to make meaning of the syntax and make it more concrete. - Introduction to Arrays: learn.java/learning/tut... - Iterating Over Arrays: learn.java/learning/tut...

What's new on Learn.java this week? - array practice - array tutorial images to illustrate what it looks like - String split method practice - 2D array tutorial - December newsletter - Recording of J Card Visuals with Text Blocks

Advent of Code Day 6 part 1 - My solution might be ugly... - Used a record to do the "Math" learn.java/learning/tut... - Added a method to clean my data and remove the spaces. Certain there's an easier way, but then you couldn't talk about clean data! github.com/clfurman/Adv...

To support you completing the Advent of Code, here are some 2D array tutorials. - Intro to 2D Arrays: learn.java/learning/tut... - Iterating Over 2D Arrays: learn.java/learning/tut... Practice sets to come! Enjoy!

A bunch of resources for beginners and also not so much beginners, I gladly recommend! 👏👏👏

What's new on Learn.java this week? Motivated by doing Advent of Code and looking for ways to support solutions, I've added the following tutorials this week. - Reading from a text file - Intro to Arrays - Iterating over Arrays - Using Split on Arrays

Advent of Code Day 2... Seemed really easy, until bullet 3! LOL. - Added a record to return endSpot and a zeroCount - Modified my easy mod solution to use a while loop. - Realized I was double counting if I went negative but also started at zero. github.com/clfurman/Adv...

Reading data from a file in a new topic in the #APCSA. Don't wait until ArrayLists to start File reading, students only need to understand method calling and while loops! Check out the tutorial here: learn.java/learning/tut... Then try Day 1 of the Advent of Code!

Advent of Code - Did you get a Day 1 Star? - file reading in the AP CSA style (for better or worse). - records to capture the rotation as a String and a number! - void main() and IO class - Please don't judge how I dealt with the negative numbers :) github.com/clfurman/Adv...
