Try this as a good Open Source IDE http://www.flashdevelop.org/ - but WHY ? Flash is pretty much on life-support / semi-dead. ;-)

HTH,

At least they moved on from COBOL then ... :)

I thought all the tertiary institutions were Apple biassed?  Don't they know uncle Steve hated Flash?  (Almost as much as Android.)
They certainly don't seem to keep up with what is happening in the real IT world.
Not only has Adelaide uni moved on from cobol, its moved on from Ada too.  -Probably only because Java is cheaper using open-source tools.

Ken the cynic.

When I was as UniSA in the early 90s there was only one Mac lab, the rest were Windows, Sun, and Vax - and a couple of those new fangled linux boxes.

Ada as a first language? I heard that Adelaide was using that back when I was at UniSA (actually SAIT in the first year).  BASIC was my first language, then Pascal at Uni, onto C, C++ and then Ada as an elective in final year.  Java didn't exist when I was at Uni :) but I'd say it was a better choice than Ada.

Incidentally I've spent most of my professional life programming in Ada and C++, and it's getting hard to find Ada programmers these days. Maintenance programming just isn't that much fun I guess.

Java, the new COBOL. Boiler plate hell!
(un)fortunately it too has stagnated.
So much so that other languages are built on top of the JVM, have more
useful language features and oft better performance.

Portability is perhaps Javas greatest legacy.
A lesson that had to be re-learnt, after the failure of P-Code
languages from the 1980s failed to take root...

cheers,

Kim

And its hard to see Java progressing much with Oracle at the helm.
They will want to charge us for anything useful added (or sue someone).
