Week 1: review

We'll get started with programming in Java, reviewing stuff you should already know, including:

• Basic data types, objects, and variables
  • Primitive
  • Reference
  • Wrapper types
• Methods, operators
• Simple program structure

Java environment installation

We'll be using the NetBeans Java IDE, so when installing Java (if you don't have it already), use the JDK installer that includes NetBeans. We'll only be using an ordinary text editor today.
