To get the most out of this book

The Java Development Kit (JDK) is required to run and develop applications using Clojure. You can get the JDK from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. It is also recommended that you use a text editor or an integrated development environment (IDE) of your choice for implementation. Some of the examples in the chapters require Linux as an operating system.
