Step 1 What Is java?

Java is just one of the hundreds of different programming languages in the world. Java language is an object-orientated programming language which was developed by Sun Microsystems. Java programmes are platform independent which means they can be run on any operating system with any type of processor as long as the Java interpreter is available on that system.

Does it matter if i download java 2 software development kit? are they the same thing?

This might be useful as notes for someone who has taken a class on Java, but as a stand alone work? Not useful. To many presumptions, no definitions, no why something works, no alternatives to make something work... This is 'how to write hello world', not 'java for beginners'.

I second your opinion.

[shanson2]

Your screenshots are of python not java code.

[Electrical Circut]

Thanks for that. I didn't pick up on that. I have fixed them up now.

I'd suggest you use Eclipse.

[Electrical Circut]

Yea. I have the programme Eclipse already, but I wanted to do this a different way.

[stuuf]

I'd suggest NetBeans mainly because by default it generates projects that can be easily compiled anywhere outside the IDE using Ant (instead of Eclipse's just calling the compiler directly) And the last 5 images need to be seriously rethought.

[Electrical Circut]

I have rethought the last 5 images and have changed them.
