All good questions, of course. On its face, it seems we should be using something just a bit more modern.

Can someone explain to me why AP Computer Science is focusing on Java and not a more modern language? I taught myself Java (to a point) 20 years ago :P

I do believe Irish Death is my favorite beer.

Irish Death and Rod Serling. Always a good mix. #nt

Consider yourself lucky. From what I hear, they're trying to get everyone off those legacy unlimited plans…
