We will use the NetBeans IDE (Interactive Development Environment) as the primary tool for code development in this class. Your code will need to compile and run under the NetBeans Java SE environment. I will specify the required version shortly.
You can access NetBeans at netbeans.org. You should download the IDE to your machine to do your development.
Come to class! It's fun!
