To get the most out of this book

To be able to run the examples provided in this book, you need to have OpenJDK and Node.js installed on your computer. All code examples have been tested using OpenJDK 17 and Node.js 18 on Linux (Fedora). However, the examples should also work on newer versions of OpenJDK and Node.js, as well as with Windows and mac OS.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
