15. The class had
over 180+
students
Helped to teach
a class called:
Foundations of
Software
Engineering
What is happening?
Taught in Python

16. Let’s see what
they think!

19. Rate these languages from
Not modern to modern on a
scale from 0 to 100

22. Describe Java in
One Word

27. “I think that it's probably good for helping
to maintain legacy code, but
I would pretty much choose any language
other than C to work in
besides Java if I had the chance.”

29. Python

32. Language
Ecosystem

42. "I think Java is cool to learn the important CS
concepts, but around here UNC CS
doesn't really show me how it's applicable
in the real world”

43. “I think Java, in my experience, is a great
language to learn programming foundations
but from my job/internship and
speaking with the senior devs
it seems Java is a little outdated.”

44. Who are they talking to?
Why are they
not talking to you?

48. The Java we have now, we
owe it to you!

49. Tomorrow’s Java lies on the
shoulders of young
developers!
