Jesse and Freya- java lesson 0: java setup

[disskotube]

Awsome - I especially liked the linux parts - I use eclipse too since it has a familiar interface that is similar to a C++ IDE that I use - I tried netbeans when I first started to learn java and boy didnt I get lost real quick - and I dont like Visual Studio either...

OK, so i click on the add to path in Windows thing, and then what

If you downloaded the jdk on your computer, then you follow the instructions on that page for adding the path. Then type javac into a command prompt again and you shouldn't get an error but a bunch of options. So that is your goal. Getting javac to work.

Wow- all so very much over my head. I'll have to come back to this someday if I ever get highly ambitious........ Ha ha ha. Yeah right.

i wish i had a java hat.

I hate to sound like an idiot but on Mac, terminal is only for checking if java works right?

and then the .txt files are what are programmed in?

Am I somewhat correct?

[ErebusWolf]

no, mac terminal is used for lots and lots of other things.

Yes all programs are written in .txt files, but the suffix is changed to represent the language being used. Like .html .c .cpp .java etc
