| BlueJ/Greenfoot Day at SIGCSE'08 (10 Jan 2008) |
 At the SIGCSE'08 conference in March in Portland, US, we will hold a free half-day event discussing BlueJ and Greenfoot. All interested people are very welcome. Details are here.

| New BlueJ Discussion Forum (30 Jan 2008) |
We have replaced the bluej-discuss mailing list with a web-based discussion forum, hosted at Google Groups. This will still allow you to read and post to the list via email, if you wish, but also gives us a web interface, archives, threaded display, and RSS.
Have a look at the new bluej-discuss.

| BlueJ for AP Computer Science (13 Dec 2007) |
The instructions for using BlueJ for the American AP Computer Science course have been updated to document the use of GridWorld with BlueJ.

| Heard
about Greenfoot? |

Have you heard about Greenfoot?
If not - surf over to the Greenfoot
web site and have a look. Greenfoot is a new cool development
environment, built by the BlueJ team. (Well, BlueJ/Greenfoot
team we would have to say now.)
Greenfoot is great for building graphical interactive applications
(such as games and simulations) very easily and quickly. In
Java. And it's free.
Greenfoot is aimed at bringing programming into high schools
and university entry courses, but it can really do much more
than that.
Have a look.
