The first part of the book will get you started programming in Java. You will learn how to install and configure the Java Development Kit from Java SE 6 and test your Java installation on your PC by writing your first game—a version of Asteroids that runs either standalone or in a web browser. The first chapter covers all the groundwork with programming environments, showing how to compile a Java program with NetBeans, Eclipse, or just a command prompt. The choice will be yours which environment you choose to use!
