A grossly unfair, non-specified Software Development Environment for Online SW Development Classes, i.e. Online Java (a Computer Language) courses.

After having recommended your school, I am extremely disappointed in your inability to Specify a General Online Development Environment (for those students who don't have an SW Online Development JAVA Editor & JAVA (IDEP) Interactive Development Environment, available elsewhere). Students are “hung out to dry”, i.e. No Support ! By you, not specifying a specific JAVA Editor (Computer Language, here JAVA) in lieu of an English (Natural Language text editor) i.e. Notepad.

Math is not English ! In Notepad a Minus-Sign, a Hyphen, & Negative-Sign, all print as the same Character (i.e. There's No need to Distinguish). Whereas in Math/JAVA a Minus-Sign, Subtract-Operator, or a Logic Not-Operator each must be treated differently. In the absence of you Not Specifying a JAVA Editor, Java Students who choose Notepad (an English Language Text Editor) are in a “World of Hurt”. Therefore; “Flash, you cannot safely use a Natural Language Editor, for JAVA Source Preparation !!! For each SW Development Course, you must specify the SW Editor & the IDEP (Interactive Development Environment Platform). I know of three students who dropped a Java class, probably because of this problem.
