- phinnaeus 4y agoI've never heard of Erasmus. I used BlueJ to learn Java in intro to Comp Sci classes in 2010 at a small school in North Carolina.
- black_puppydog 4y agoI had the same experience, TU Dortmund in 2007, algorithms 101. I always figured the tool was deliberately chosen because it gave just enough support to the learner (syntax highlighting and class diagrams) but didn't offer any other safety nets or convenience. Kind of just one step away from programming in notepad.exe :)
- pdntspa 4y agoSame for me, at a local community college, around 2005
- lwn 4y agoMe too! But it was in Groningen
- jen20 4y agoBath (UK) also used it in the early 2000s, I believe faculty at Kent (UK) had some kind of hand in building it too.
- lapser 4y ago> I believe faculty at Kent (UK) had some kind of hand in building it too. That's correct! Michael Kölling, one of the original authors, was a lecturer who wrote it originally. All of OOP classes were taught with BlueJ, but we were allowed to other editors, though not many did.
- cies 4y agoYups this was at EUR (Erasmus).
