Programming Environment

We will use the programming language Java and emacs initially. Later we will move to IntelliJ. Install them on your computer.

The latest Java is version 18. Here is a document describing how to install Java 17 on either Mac OS or Windows 10. Java 18 should have a similar install process. I will update this document for the latest java version as I have time.

• Windows
1. Basic DOS Commands
2. Install Emacs on Windows. [Emacs Quick Reference]
• Mac OS X
1. Basic Unix and Emacs Commands for Mac OS X
2. For emacs you have two options that you will learn in Lab 1 in the course.
