Java Presentations

[dmelcer9]

So our team is a bit low on programmers, and this past season, we didn't really do a good job of teaching new ones. In my free time, I've started to make some presentations for next year's pre-season to teach the underclassmen how to Java, but I need some honest feedback on the presentations I'm working on.

I've only created one so far: https://docs.google.com/presentation...it?usp=sharing, and it would be nice to know what works and what doesn't work before creating 20 more (the presentation was based on this outline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing)

I'm trying a completely different approach than what we did this past year- JShell is a large part of the training (it's in open beta, but it's mostly bug-free), and I'm trying to make it more example based and hands-on.

Note that the speaker notes also contains some content. Comments are enabled for both the outline and the presentation if you want to give feedback about one specific part.

When I refer to the whiteboards in the presentation, our team is getting a few 4'x8' sheets of whiteboard material and cutting them to fit the tables in the robotics room.
