The purpose of this assignment is to give you experience in both Java and Javascript, as well as in the design of algorithms for sorting different kinds of data. The system you will construct will consist of a window / Web page that contains a title, a table with two columns, and two buttons, as shown here. The first column of the table will contain the names of people and the second column will contain their corresponding ages. The table will initially be empty and a user will be able to type values into it. One button will cause the entries in the table to be sorted based on the name in column 1 and the second button will cause the entries to be sorted based on the ages in column 2. Note that you will produce two versions of this: one in Java using JFrame and the other in Javascript.

I kinda vaguely know hwo to do this... but I have such a problem with using JFrame or JavaScript... like what do you guys write ur programs in?

Pro tip, use a language that doesn't suck as much as Java. Javascript works better when bridged with .net languages; or if you need database access, PHP and JScript.

Protip:

Find out why he's asking for advice before assuming holier than thou attitude. He's taking a Java class. I think most of the people at cmu use eclipse if they're writing in Java.

Yeah Eclipse seems to be the IDE of choice, I still prefer visual studio.net but I'm generally a microsoft man.

Not sure you can code/compile true java in the .net IDE, might have to use J#.

I use Eclipse but like I feel like this is a stupid question but like for javaScript, will it like give you shit for typing and like I just want to see a basic type up of a website. btw if you want to see what it looks like, I can post a screenshot

you want the coding "helper" thingys? I believe you just need to download the appropriate eclipse plug-in for whatever language you're using.

The answer is: I think it's your power supply.

The answer is: Yes your gay and can we touch butts.

or

The answer is: Javascript

I don't that something called Eclipse IDE for JavaScript Web Developers exists at all .

Tip: test your JS coding in IE (turn on Scripting Debugger and notification about script errors) - it's annoying as hell, but helps deliver bug free code.




How did this go?
