Day 2 of Lecture

So today, we continued to learn the very basics of Java, such as variables, looking for input, things of that nature. I'm really enjoying using a laptop to take notes in CS1121 because any example code that Pops puts up, I can type it up as if I was actually writing a Java program, or if I felt like it, I could actually type it into Eclipse and manipulate it to see what happens. And for anyone who might be thinking, "Hey, doesn't Michigan Tech have wireless internet throughout the campus? So aren't you tempted to go do something else on the internet?" my answer is, "Well, no, not really." I can stop myself from browsing mostly because I'm actually interested in the class and want to learn the information. Most of my other classes, for one reason or another, don't really interest me, so having Intro to Java twice a week and then a lab will be a nice break from boredom.

Some gems from Pops this past lecture:
"Variables are called variables because they vary!"
"If you don't put your paper in a neat pile, you will be shot! Your names are on them; I know who you are!"
