Libraries, IDEs, the sandbox...

• Libraries
• Java has a sandbox for security. Ostensibly, this makes it safe to use over the internet. Recently, people seem to think that Java is no longer safe.
• We'll use the Eclipse IDE (interactive development environment).
• public, private, static
• applications vs. applets
• There are a range of versions of Java.
• Coding style. Use white space sensibly.
• Use good variable names.
• Use named constants.
