Do you use Maven or Gradle?

I found this link for installation. https://openliberty.io/news/2017/11/29/liberty-spring-boot.h...

Have you tried it?

I agree that people should understand pointers, heap and stack. However, there's going to be drop outs from the class if these things are focused on too early. Of course, this is open to debate, which is why we have this type of healthy discussion. You might be right in your assumption that it's better to introduce these concepts earlier. In know that when I was in high school, these concepts were taught and served as a foundation for further learning. It's out of vogue now to teach these concepts to kids. But, you might be right. I need to think about this more. Thank you for your posts.

Thank you for posting this reply as I agree with many of your points. Also, I didn't know about Racket, which looks like a good tool for teaching. I would like to learn more about how you use Racket. Many years ago, my high school taught fortran first and then assembly as the AP course. This was later changed to Pascal. I believe that assembly was used for some of the same reasons the author is suggesting C. However, I also think that learning Python and Go is a better starting point. Learning about pointers is going to cause a significant portion of the class to drop out or tune out. At some, they will need to learn more about memory addresses, but I think that it can come later when performance becomes more of a concern.

I was skeptical about chatbots until I started looking into this technology more. My impression is that it's like a natural language search engine. Is this your opinion of how it's used? I'm eager to see how to add this onto a web page. Do you know how to do that?

Also, do you think businesses are using Slack for customer engagement?
