CSE219 Software Environment
This course will use the Java programming language, version 8. The programming environment for this semester will be the NetBeans IDE, version 8.0, which includes a syntax-directed editor, run-time environment, debugger, unit tester, and additional software development tools. Go to the NetBeans download page to get your own free copy. All software will also be provided for you to use in the Windows Lab. Note that the following references will be helpful to students while completing the Java programming assignments:
-
Java 8 API - this reference provides a summary of all the Standard Edition classes, many of which we'll make use of.
-
The Java Tutorial - walks one through programming in Java, including the new features of Java 8.
-
JavaFX Tutorial - a good reference for learning how to make user interfaces using JavaFX, which is new with Java 8. Note that JavaFX is replacing Swing as the Java framework for making user interfaces.
