First of all, welcome to the exciting world of Java programming. If you
are ready to write your first Java program i.e. HelloWorld in Java, it means
you already crossed major hurdles to start Java programming, in terms of
installing JDK and setting PATH for Java. If you haven't done so then you can
follow those tutorial to install
JDK in Windows 7 and 8 and setting
PATH for Java. Before we start writing HelloWorld in Java, few notes about
editors. Many Java beginners insist or try to use Eclipse or Netbeans IDE from
very start of first program, which is not a good idea. In order to learn syntax
and semantics of Java programming, you should code in notepad, word pad or any
other text editor. I started coding in DOS Editor, but I won't suggest that to
you. Notepad++ is best of both world, it support Java syntax highlighting,
which helps to understand keywords better, and its also a pleasant coding
experience. If you don't have notepad++, you can download it form http://notepad-plus-plus.org/, its
FREE. Once you have JDK, PATH and Notepad++ installed, it’s time to code your
first Java program, HelloWorld.
