Tutorial: Write Java Programs in Notepad

Watch fullscreen in 720p to easily see what I'm doing.

I decided to record a simple tutorial on compiling and running Java code written in Notepad or any simple plain-text editor. I downloaded and installed the JDK at http://www.oracle.com/java. The video also shows how to set your Environment Path to make sure you're using the correct version. Sorry that the program I write isn't more exciting but I had no plan and wrote it on the spot.

The fancy IDE's that have a play button are doing these steps in the background for you. It's good to know and understand how it works manually.

What would happen if you were to make it find the square root of a negative?
