Title: I want to learn Java
Post by: Mitosis on January 27, 2005, 07:38 AM
Hey guys, I decided I want to learn Java since I heard some great things about it. First of all, I went to Java.sun.com or w/e it is called and I am kind of confused on what to download for the compiler -- if anyone knows thanks. Also, where could I start to learn Java on the Internet, as I can't buy a book for a while.

Thanks in advance!

It might be easier for you to use a free IDE, such as Eclipse.

java.sun.com isn't the greatest place... you should get NetBeansIDE 3.6 (since you're in ontario, I'm assuming your school will use what mine uses).

http://www.clan-exile.com Java tutorials is good for getting started
one problem you may have at the beginning is compiling in cmd... save all your .java files in the bin folder!
