Just updated to Ubuntu 18.04 on a Dell Latitude E6510.
I typically program in PHP with MySql, HTTP5, Javascript and occasionally C. I wish to explore programming in Java.
I don't know anything about the language other than that it is 'C like' so I bought Mastering Netbeans and Java All-in-One for Dummies and have given them an overview at this time. I do want to continue programming with HTTP5, PHP and Javascript.
So, my question is, What do I download? Is GlassFish and Tomcat necessary, whatever they are; this all seems complicated enough without having to learn more stuff?
In Mastering Netbeans they talk about *http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javese/downloads *and the Java EE bundle and the All bundle which I didn't find. Do I download several different things or one package to install everything I need?
My gut feeling is I should go with Java Platform Standard Edition ( Java SE 10 ?) and add the the Plug-ins for PHP and HTTP5 with the appropriate Netbeans Package.
Thanks in advance for help.
