Newbie Needs Programming environment...

[docmeizie]

Hello I am pretty new to Java, and I want to go throught the motions of teaching myself Java at home. I have a Book on how to teach yourself Java, but what I really need is a programming enviroment to run the programs and such. Does anyone have any good free programs that can be downloaded so I may start expanding my mind?????

Download the SDK @

http://www.java.sun.com.

Download a text editor/IDE
-- TextPad.com (text Editor)
-- NetBean.com (Free IDE)

That should be all that you need to start learning.

Hope this helps.

That's not true! Unless something is physically broken you get whatever it was told by humans to do!

Also the Sun One Studio Community Edition is free from sun.com

i use jcreator from jcreator.com. It's the next best thing
to intellij idea. It's a luxury notepad; you can edit java,
jsp, xml,sql, html .... in one ide. It was built using c++ too.

What is "c++ too"? C++ i know... but "too"... what that means?
Does that stand for Totally Object Oriented?

to learn Java do NOT use ANY IDE.
You'll almost invariably end up learning the tool without learning the language.

Start using a simple text editor and a commandline compiler from the J2SDK and only move to a full IDE when you understand what it is that the IDE is automating for you.
