  • In Processing students should have experience with the following constructs they’ll also use in Java:

    • parameters

  • To transition to Java, teach students the following additional content:

    • Introduce the syntax for Java classes: public class ClassName

    • Show students how to create a main method: public static void main(String[] args)
