• void
• returning objects

POJO

String Operations

• parsing, splitting

Inheritance

• extend, implements keywords

Git/ Github

• Create remote repository on github.com
• clone remote to local (open code in github desktop) include pictures if necessary
• add your code to local (can copy and paste if you already created the code)
• don't forget to commit and push

Problem Solving Principles

• Where to look for solutions
• Create a roadmap to the solution

Google

• StackOverflow
• GeeksforGeeks
• Baeldung
• YouTube
• W3Schools

Documentations

• Java Docs
  • Oracle
• Tutorial Point
  • has Java documentation
• MDN
  • has huge library of documentation for web developers
  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

Code in English first

• Pseudocode
  • what are you trying to accomplish
  • what classes, methods, variables, etc, do you need
  • what will these do?
  • then try and write code after it makes sense to you

Peers

• The above not work? Try asking your peers next.
  • Give detailed description of issue
  • video and pictures are good
  • Github Repo is best (copy and paste your github repo link in the slack)
