Here I am documenting for my (and hopefully your) benefit, my attempts to use a Java REPL for retrieving, processing, and recording all sorts of data. I am using Java at work, and it’s not worth switching to a whole different ecosystem e.g. Python, or bothering with Intellij/maven/gradle projects for such tasks.

I am using j’bang to start a Java REPL, with installation instructions here. With j’bang we can use a *.jsh file with any dependencies and imports required for a session, so I’ve prepared one for each blog post. Do have a look at the commands inside these files, you’ll need them to do your own thing after I’ve inspired you with my posts.

These posts are written in random order based on my daily needs, this isn’t some course you have to follow in order. But, I am doing my best to group them by affinity below:
