    I would be honored to be selected to co-author a paper with you. However I understand your selection criteria may be high, and you may choose not to select me, in either case, it is an honor to be selected, or not.

    Perfect. Just perfect. If anyone would like to collaborate with me to submit a paper to the Journal of Universal Rejection, feel free to contact me. I probably won't answer.

      Let's just skip the middle man and fail to submit it.

      This works for me! More efficient too.

    Man!! Yes! IDE's are everything! I'm a professional software dev and I can tell you cannot do your job right or even with such level of ease and integration without an IDE. I love everything that JetBrains does, and they're the only IDE's I use....

    That is a good point Andrew and makes sense. I will keep that in mind when trying to tackle the next few assignments.

    Outside of this course (since we're asked not to use many of their features), I'd recommend an IDE for any project that will be more than a few source files. Just being able to jump around multiple files, add breakpoints, and step through the logic...

    I am finding it's good to try out an IDE if you have never tried one just to see how it works. But also to use a command line is also good practice so you can find out multiple ways to run the code.

    Okay, thanks for the replies I'll continue using the Eclipse IDE.

    I think that IDE's can be relatively turn-key and useful if you use them at their most basic level. I mean, just using IDE in the same way you'd use sublime text or something. I know that some of them will underline errors in syntax, so dont have to...

    Um, Python is older. It's also always been more widely used if you factor out Web apps and mobile apps (until recently). It's also more ingrained in system programs - it's more akin to a C install base. Frankly, as HarmonyOS takes off, you will...

    @sam gainer Whether you're using an IDE or not it's imporant that you are writing the code yourself. It is just as easy to copy and paste code into notepad as it is to get an IDE to generate code for you. This is why documentation is such a big...

    I completely agree with Kristen here. I was using Notepad++ and started assignment 4 with it but quickly realized just how inconvient and time wasting it was to have to constantly recompile these files for testing. I moved everything into Eclipse...

    Haha nice. To be fair it was only in August I believe that Python overtook Java as the second most popular programming language according to TIOBE and now it's first. I really wonder if Athabasca will start offering Python classes (or maybe they do...

    IIRC I saw the instructor reply previously saying that it is okay to use an IDE but that you can't use it for any automatic code generation. Obviously make sure to test that you can compile and run your program from the CLI before submitting.

I really wonder if Athabasca will start offering Python classes (or maybe they do already and I'm just not aware). It seems to be the most talked about programming language these days though I wonder if the hype could cause the industry to become over saturated.

      Frankly, as HarmonyOS takes off, you will start seeing increased need for Python developers. Go on LinkedIn Jobs and you see that already, most of the Java stuff is for legacy.

      Both probably have another 20-30 years left in them, since outside of Swift no one seems to be attempting robust programming langauges right now (TIAO)

    Oh Thanks Cindy! Sorry I didn't reply sooner I just saw your comment. I've been writing my posts in wordpress and then just copying them over. Good luck with your blog! I'll be watching for it. Shawn

    I'm really not understanding this course.  In the textbook and here people talk about IDEs but in assignment 1 it says you will fail if you use one.  Are we allowed to use one but just not to help with the assignments?
