| Guys Pleaseeeee I Need To Understand This Java Thing! by whyohme: 6:00pm On Dec 22, 2014 |
I'm VERY NEW to programming, and I want to learn it. Going through some sites, I was advised to learn Java first. (I have like 20% HTML knowledge already). I've been doing and running the Java "hello World program" but I'm just finding something crazy about the program. Please I'd like your Nairaland programmers (gurus) to please walk me through the process of creating a Java Hello World. java program. Then maybe advice me on more things to learn with. I've tried learning with http://docs.oracle.com/ java course, but their some things I think I still need "some sort of personal touch" to learn... and I'm REALLY WILLINGLY TO LEARN. Tip -- I'd like to create an Android app... but from the SCRATCH. |

You want to write Android apps? Learn Java first. Want to learn Java on your own? Read Java how to program by Deitel and Head first Java. Also download Java videos from TheNewBoston.com |

1. Open Your my Computer. 2. Goto System Properties. 3. Open Advance system settings.(for win Vista/7/8/8.1/10) 4. Goto Advanced Tab and Open Environment Variables. 05. Then Click on New under User variables and Set Variable Name : Path and Set Variable Value : C:\Program Files \Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin (The Directory In which your JDK is installed. Yours might be different from mine) 06. And Click OK , OK and that’s it. It will be then Set. |

ahmmyreal: you shouldnt create a new variable . For windows 7 and earlier, there,s a path variable under system properties. Click it then copy the full path to the jdk compiler and paste it at the end of the value textfield,with other values there. End with a semi colon. The path to the jdk should be rootdrive: /program files/.../java/java-version/bin/ |
| Re: Guys Pleaseeeee I Need To Understand This Java Thing! by whyohme: 12:38pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
asalimpo:My current PATH is -- C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin And I'd try what you suggested |
| Re: Guys Pleaseeeee I Need To Understand This Java Thing! by asalimpo(m): 2:03pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
after editing the Path variable ,in the Advanced settings, restart your system before tryingna recomplie again. The settings maynt register if u dont reboot ur system. |
| Re: Guys Pleaseeeee I Need To Understand This Java Thing! by GodMode: 3:00pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
whyohme: - Go to start - type cmd and click it to run command prompt. - after cmd loads type javac and press enter. Tell us if u get an error message or not. |

| Re: Guys Pleaseeeee I Need To Understand This Java Thing! by haibe(m): 7:00am On Dec 24, 2014 |
whyohme:u can start using eclipse instead of Command line, it's better |
| Re: Guys Pleaseeeee I Need To Understand This Java Thing! by asalimpo(m): 7:47am On Dec 24, 2014 |
haibe:i would advice otherwise. Stay with command line until you're conversant with it before switching to an ide. Know how to compile a class compile a package jar files put libraries in your classpath deploy complete apps use basic command switches e.g dir, dir <extension>, copy etc (on windows) |
| Re: Guys Pleaseeeee I Need To Understand This Java Thing! by haibe(m): 8:50am On Dec 24, 2014 |
asalimpo: ok just that I feel it may discourage new users as it's difficult to identify errors using command line |
| Re: Guys Pleaseeeee I Need To Understand This Java Thing! by asalimpo(m): 10:21am On Dec 24, 2014 |
haibe: it's a rite of passage thingi so tht they know what's agwan under d hood. And know how to drop down to tht level should d need ever be. |
