Treehouse TeacherJava Objects is released!
Howdy everyone!
I released Java Objects this morning. It's a fun (IMHO) hands-on approach to exploring objects for the first time. I put in all sorts of suggestions and ideas from all of you, so I just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback and please, please keep it coming. It's really helping make the courses better.
After watching the course, if you have some ideas or directions you'd like to head in future courses, please come back here and suggest them.
Next on the roadmap is most likely Java Data Structures, it will cover some of the more advanced Object-Oriented Programming concepts as well as common collection Objects that will make you wonder how you survived before without them.
I am thinking that we'll do one more here in Workspaces and then head into an IDE, most likely IntelliJ IDEA. What are your thoughts on that after taking this course? Sound good?
Thanks for the feedback, and hope you have as much fun with the course as much as I did making it!

Treehouse TeacherMr. Dennis;
That sounds like a great plan, and I really have enjoyed the new course and have noticed that you have brought up several points that have been brought up in the forum! It really makes it, for me at least, feel like while we may not have the ultimate say in our destination, we can at least offer a minor side-road to take to get there. It is pretty cool.
One question on the IDE, since there are a multitude of options available in the Java IDE world, and I noticed there was a discussion a few days (weeks?) back on the topic. Would you share your reason for choosing IntelliJ IDEA over some of the others? Perhaps not now but at least in the course. As beginners I think it would be great to skip through some of the Goldilocks method for choosing a dev tool, i.e. "I am going to try this dev tool... Yuck... Onto this one... better, but not perfect... Ah, this one is what I was looking for." It obviously is frustrating to do that, wastes time, and likely turns some folks off of development in a certain language.
Keep up the great work. I am truly enjoying Java.
Happy coding,
Ken
