Learning Programming in Small Classes
When teaching more than 14 students in the class it is nearly impossible to maintain eye contact with each and every student. When losing that eye contact it is nearly impossible to sens the students. Many of today students don’t feel comfortable asking basic questions and as a result of that, they are left behind. […]

If there is a topic in which a comparison is required please don’t hesitate and […]
Android Hybrid Applications Remote Debugging
When developing an hybrid application for the android platform we can debug our code in JavaScript using the Chrome DevTools. In order to assist my students I chose to create a short demo for using this remote debugging capability. The application I wrote in Java includes a simple single activity. The following is the code […]
Developing Java Servlets and JSP using IntelliJ
Moving from the Eclipse IDE to IntelliJ IDEA, I chose to assist my students (in the Java EE courses I deliver in HIT, Tel-Hai and Shenkar) by creating a short video clip that explains how to develop simple JSP and simple JavaServlets using the IntelliJ IDEA IDE.
