CS1121 Week 1 Class

The first week of CS1121 went pretty smoothly. We basically went through the syllabus and whatnot and introduced the whole idea of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the IDE that we used was Eclipse. Dr. Poplawski explained to us the significance of an IDE and how it corrects any Java syntax errors before the user runs the program. Using Eclipse in the lab during the first week was a bit difficult, but after Dr. Poplawski explained it to us and used it for examples during the lecture, it instantly became second nature to me. I also recently installed Eclipse on my computer, so CodeLab assignments and homework programs will be easier to do with this tool at my fingertips.
