Course Environment Resources and Getting Started

You will need to install Java, Eclipse, Enthought Python (Called Canopy), Pydev plug-in and Ambient Plug-in. That sounds like a lot. Best to try and install them yourself and we will check it in the first lab and help you if you had trouble. For Java Eclipse and Enthought Python, make sure at the minimum you download these to your laptop BEFORE you go to lab.

Quotes

Microsoft knows that reliable software is not cost effective. According to studies, 90% to 95% of all bugs are harmless. They're never discovered by users, and they don't affect performance. It's much cheaper to release buggy software and fix the 5% to 10% of bugs people find and complain about.
