Getting Started..

Hi,

I highly recommend you to go through this page once.
In order to start coding in Java you will need following:

1. Java Compiler
2. Integrated Development Environment tool
3. A Computer (lol)

Java Compiler

1. Go to JAVA-8 and download the latest JDK for your machine. 

Integrated Development Environment tool

1. Go to Eclipse and download the latest eclipse for your machine.

Setting up Environment Variables

1. Set up JAVA_HOME as JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_27 where you give path to the jdk. Java_home is an environment variable that holds the path information to look for JDK on that machine.
2. Run following commands to set JAVA_HOME and update Path variable on your machine.  

• SET JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_27 
• SET PATH = %PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

That's it, you are now ready to write your first Java program.

Keep smiling & keep reading...
