This environment will enable migrations within the Linux Penguin terminal to check the Linux and Java versions. Using the Sudo command to update the Linux Terminal will also be available.

Java is interesting and valuable as it allows programmers and developers to program in an environment that can encapsulate a programming environment that runs everywhere. The Java Montra is: “program once run everywhere”. This mantra applies to Java programs, Web applications, Mobile Applications, as well as software development environments. This course is for beginners with the x86 Chromebook that can utilize, run, and create Java programs and applications.

This course shows the learner how to migrate within the Apache Netbeans IDE  and Linux terminal environments.
