An inspiring history of how a professor began teaching Java.
Hear from Barry Burd, long time CS professor on how he and his colleagues fell in love with the Java programming language and shifted their teaching to using Java.

Hi, @mattmakai . I get error messages when I try to run your Python code to make phone calls. No urlparse module, cannot import 'parse_qs'. Is there an easy fix?

Hey @SlackHQ / @stewart - The JavaSpecialists workspace (led by @heinzkabutz) is an 11k people strong, active, and heavily used "non-non-profit" gathering place for Java peeps.
Lots of cool stuff are now lost in the archives. Any way to get us bumped up to the standard plan? π

When we have met in person @allmycode has treated me with some good ice cream. Meeting online is no exception, I suppose.
