Your development enviroment
This guide will help you to get your development enviroment ready to go so we can start doing cool things right away!
Java
To get everything working we need to install a Java development enviroment.
We recommend Java OpenJDK 11 by Adoptium
Download (please select "Temurin 11 (LTS)" and the correct OS and architecture when downloading).
The installation depends on your operating system. Even tho we recommend Java 11 you are free to use any other version - but please keep in mind that things might be different!
VPN and eduroam
It is also very important to have a working internet connection.
Please follow the official TU-Dresden guide on how to install a VPN and eduroam.
The guide is available here
Make sure to scroll all the way down to find the right guide for your operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android/iOS). A working internet connection might be needed!
VS Code
To actually be able to write exciting code you will need an editor. Even tho you can even use any standard editor like Notepad or Notepad++ you might still want to check out VS Code.
VS Code is a modular and open source editor which makes it easy to configure your development environment and add extensions.
