Introduction

What you need to start

These labs assume that you have internet access and a modern web browser such as Chrome.

We use the Repl.it web site because it can compile and run Java applications. Java is a compiled language and needs some tools installed to run locally. This can be a challenge to get going, and so we will be able to instead use this web based tool which will get us started quickly.
