What you should know

- [Instructor] To get the most out of this course, you should be comfortable developing in Java. And you should have some knowledge of the lightweight data interchange format JSON. You should be familiar with JSON's conventions and how Java objects are serialized. That is, what a Java object looks like when it is transformed into JSON. If you're not familiar with JSON, or just want a refresher, you should pop over to the excellent course Java script and JSON. The getting started section has a simple introduction to JSON. If you're comfortable with these technologies, you should have no trouble following along with this course. Once you learn how to develop using the JSON processing API, you'll find that it's a very powerful way to represent your application's data. And, as you already know, JSON is everywhere these days. So, you won't have any problems finding any excuse to use the knowledge and skills you obtain in this course in your own application. The project source code has been packaged as a Maven project. So, it can be set up with minimal friction in an IDE that supports Maven projects. The IDE I have chosen to use in this course is IntelliJ ultimate edition. However, you can use any IDE that you like. Ideally, it should be able to support Maven projects. The NetBeans IDE is a good alternative and so too is Eclipse. If you wish to use the same IDE that I'm using, you can download a trial version of the ultimate edition from the jetbrains website. This project is developed using Java EE 7 and takes advantage of some of the new features of Java SE 8 and therefore, this JDK is required. You should also find that the coding samples are also compatible with the JSON processing API in Java EE 8 and future enterprise editions on the platform.
