[nfbcs] jGRASP Editor Plus Tips on How to get to know program accessibility/work arounds when you are new to programming

[Cindy Bennett]

Hi All,

I am taking my first programming course next quarter. All examples
will be given in the jGRASP editor. Do any of you have experience
using this editor? I would prefer to use it for continuity with the
class but will take suggestions for preferred Java environments. I
have already been encouraged to use Eclipse.

Also, I am very new to programming. What strategies did you use to get
to know programming environments and to determine accessibility
barriers versus knowledge barriers? I do appreciate the resources that
have gone around in response to the research project and will
certainly check those out.

Thanks!
