We'll cover the following...
Introduction
We could list pages and pages of available functionalities that Java can share with us, but this isn’t the point of the course. We recommend investigating and searching for the functionalities that you would find interesting to use. At times, you might even need to build the required Java library yourself.
For now, we’ll just talk about the official Java libraries available and the ones we think will be most useful.
