Abstract
In this chapter we present a handful of recipes to help programmers who are new to the Java language, as well as those having experience in other languages, become accustomed to Java 8. You will learn to install Java 8, and also install an Interactive Development Environment (IDE) from which you’ll develop applications and experiment with the solutions provided in this book. You will learn basics of Java such as how to create a class and how to accept keyboard input. Documentation is often overlooked, but in this chapter you will quickly learn how to create great documentation for your Java code.
