Sources and scripts for the book "Getting started with Java on the Raspberry Pi"

Getting started with Java on Raspberry Pi

In this project you can find all the sources and scripts described in the book "Getting started with Java on the Raspberry Pi" which is available on Leanpub.

Content

Everything is organized according to the chapters in the book.

Within each chapter you will find (but not always all of them):

• A README file like this on, with more info about the content of the chapter itself, links to related articles and more.
• One "scripts" directory with scripts e.g. to install Java on the Pi.
• One "schemes" directory with Fritzing files with the wiring of the projects in the chapter.
• "java-..." directories, depending on the content:
  • Only .java-files: code you can run without the need to compile (with Java 11+).
  • A new directory structure with a "pom.xml" in the root: a full Maven Java project.
• "javafx-..." directories: a full Mavan JavaFX project.
• "arduino-..." directories: an Arduino project.
