 | The main language used in this course is Java. You should use Java for all programming activities, the project, and exam answers. |
Preparation:
We require you to use Java 11 (the Oracle version or another alternative such as the OpenJDK version) for all course work. It is your duty to ensure the code you write (and executables you produce) are compatible with that version of Java. Any incompatibilities will be considered as bugs.
If you have Java 8 in your computer, we recommend removing it, to prevent using it unintentionally.
Why not move to Java 17?: While we are aware that Java 17 is a more recent LTS version of Java, we are sticking with Java 11 which is still the most used version of Java in production systems. We plan to move to Java 17 in a future semester when its adoption is sufficiently high.
