Meta: Code Examples

[DerekCresswell]

Meta issue for tracking our progress with writing various code examples for the course notes. Each should have a separate issue and pull request created to track it's progress.

Please add and edit this list as time goes on.

Examples:

• [ ] #3
  • [ ] Similar common algorithms
• [ ] #5
• [ ] #14
• [ ] #8
• [ ] #10
• [ ] #12

[DerekCresswell]

We should start to compile a more concrete list of examples that we wish to cover and include.

[DerekCresswell]

Adding here to pin down later:

We will want to talk about (length / depth varies)

• Comparable
• Strings (specifically == vs equals)
• Arrays (mainly as underlying the ArrayList)
• IntelliJ usages
• Exceptions
• Testing

[DerekCresswell]

• Array {} initialization
• Testing might slot in with intellij
• Collections in Lists notes
• Iteration, if, etc. in the fizz buzz
• New example for classes (abstract, super, override, overload)
• Showcase intellij tools whenever possible
  • Delay a dedicated intellij note section until we can see if they are all sprinkled throughout the other notes.

[DerekCresswell]

As an update, here is what is not yet covered in our outlines:

• Basic control flow iterations (to be in fizz buzz). But this only needs to be brief.
• Classes example
• Exceptions
• Comparable

Needs Review:

• [ ] #11
• [ ] #9

• [ ] #6 (final)

  Needs work:

• [ ] #13
  • I will do this one since I think I've got a strong idea for it.
• [ ] #4
  • To fill with however much basic examples students need. I assume if, for, etc. is fairly intuitive for the most part.
• [ ] #15
  • As the running example I might suggest a user, admin, publisher, class structure. Open to anything.
  • Does comparable fit here? Is that just the example to use instead? (Making a comparable class).

So I've got the needs work all good with outlines, feel free to take any and make any changes that you'd like.
