Load the JDK and JRE and so on onto your PC. You might need Eclipse,
or whatever it is called, but I just use MS Notepad. And a DOS window
to compile and run everything. While you are at it, install J3D,
too. I used the Deitel books and took one continuing education course
at work. Eventually I did just about everything (Swing, J3D,
servlets, JSP, generics). Now that you mention it, I had to install
Tomcat, too. And I learned it all from the Deitel books.
Just follow the directions in the book for adding CLASSPATH and that
Tomcat environment variable, CATALINA (I know it is named after a
salad dressing), or whatever it is called, to your PC. I did all this
a long time ago and I cannot remember the details.
Enterprise Beans will be the hardest because you have to install
Apache on your PC and dream up some problems to code that will use all
the bells and whistles. So I skipped this part.
