At my community college, I took 2 courses in Java which were taught with Eclipse in mind. In these courses, I used Eclipse to manage Java SDKs and set up version control. While I prefer using Visual Studio Code as my text editor\/IDE, I am comfortable enough with Eclipse to use it if requested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"yui_3_9_1_3_1439935132059_906\"><strong>What languages are you proficient in at this point?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The languages I am most comfortable using are, in descending order, Java, C++, and Python. I have taken courses in Java most recently, so I feel it is the most fresh on my mind. I haven&#8217;t used C++ in a serious way since my early CS education, but I am still comfortable with the language. Recently, I have been learning Dart for cross-platform app development, but I still have a ways to go before I would consider myself &#8220;proficient&#8221; in the language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your desired field of Computer Science at this point?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am still undecided between software engineering and game development, but I am leaning towards game development. I am currently looking at internship opportunities at local game studios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Week in Review<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of this week&#8217;s material was review for me, but I did learn about the DecimalFormat class in Java, which I had never used before. I also spent time learning about the style formatting guidelines for this course, which will keep me on my toes in these first few weeks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q\/A Have you used Eclipse before?
