JUDO is a Java IDE for Beginning Computer Programmers. An IDE is an Integrated Development Environment, or a program that makes it easy for you to write computer programs. JUDO is also an educational tool used to teach programming concepts and to spark excitement and interest in programming. JUDO is easy to use. JUDO is Fun! |
Why should I learn to write programs? The best reason is that computer programming can be fun, rewarding, and lets you do impressive things with your computer that you have never done before. By writing programs in JUDO, you will be able to draw colorful shapes on the screen and move them around. You will be able to have your computer prompt someone to enter their name or ask the persons age and then respond to their answers. You will be able to have the computer do math calculations for you. There are hundreds of interesting things you could do, and its only limited by your imagination.
JUDO is released under the GNU General Public License. Here is JUDO's license.
