This was my first class where I really learned about using Greenfoot and I wasn't installing anything or something like that. Today I really started to learn about code.
However, I think that the rate at which Michael Kolling (the man who talks on Joy of Code videos) explains the code is incredibly slow. A video that is 16 minutes long could easily be shortened into 8 or 9 minutes if he spent the whole video explaining and not talking about other things that are less relevant to the code itself. But apart from that one frustrating aspect, his videos are great. After watching them I always learn something new. I got up to the Joy of Code #5, where we learn about if-statements, but I haven't finished that video yet.
So far I haven't been able to do so much on Greenfoot but since I've never done anything with code I was happy to see that I was able to make a hedgehog move forward/turn. I am hoping that by the end of next class I will have advanced even more and will be able to do more in Greenfoot.
Also, last class I had forgotten to talk to Mr. Daly, so I am hoping that I will get the chance to on Tuesday.
