I want to start learning Java

I want to learn Java, and write Java codes. I searched through this website for an article which explains what a develepment environment I must have, but couldn't find anything, because it is designed in a too formal manner.
Can you simply give me a list of software to install to setup myself a Java development system?

You kept giving me links from this website. I said it is very fomal and %95 of the information is trivia.
Anyway I found the answer on a third party program's website:
http://www.jcreator.com/installation.htm
All I need is
1) JDK
2) A Java IDE
Is this right?Of course, JCreator is a nice IDE for beginners. Also, it is simple to use.

    ThanksOk, I haven't been much help here lately, but I'd like to help here if I can. In my opinion, you're talking about Advanced Java topics here. You are basically asking to run before you walk.
    Can you compile and run a simple 'Hello World' program in Java?
    I've always found that a positive way to start.

  • Is it worth to start learning Java

    Today I saw a post in JavaRanch (http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=33&t=017317). A guy asked a question for his friend about STARTING to learn Java NOW. Actually, I heard quite same question from people around myself.
    For myself, I've been working on Java more than 7 years(already SCEA, hehe). However, the Java passion is getting away ;-((, I am looking around for other stuff like Ruby.
    I have same confusion as that guy, and I'd like to learn from you guys for same question - for the current market situation, it is late/okay to touch Java?

    thank for all the input.
    my concerns are, particularly for newcomer, the
    learning curve and the market trend.
    my understanding is Java is losing its powder in web
    application development comparing with other emerging
    language like Ruby/Python, conversely, Java's powser
    is going to server side(business/integration layer).Don't be so sure about that.
    Java's not losing powder [sic] in web app development. It's mature and considered a standard for enterprise scale problems. Ruby and Python are gaining traction for smaller CRUD-like Web apps, but neither is up to snuff in the areas of security and transactions. Ruby is gaining popularity because of Rails, which makes creating simpler web apps easy.
    Criticism of Java for complexity and a dearth of tools is fair. But are Trails, Grail, and AppFuse strong enough answers to Rails such that Java EE can be more agile for smaller apps? Time will tell. I think Spring and Hibernate are helping a great deal, more than EJB 3.0 will.
    everybody knows it is hard thing to learn java,It's hard to learn anything, period. Programming in any language is a long learning curve, because it's so much more than just language syntax. You don't do enterprise apps just by learning Java, even if you stick to the EE platform. You have to know SQL and relational databases, messaging, XML, HTML, JavaScript, HTTP...the list is pretty long. All those technologies carry over to .NET and Ruby and anything else, so it's not just Java that's complex. Enterprise problems are complex.
    And once you know all that, there's the problem of designing elegantly. It's a long climb no matter which language is on top.
    regarding to server side programming for a java
    newbie, it would be much harder to learn, further, it
    will take you long long time to learn server side
    java programming.
    however, the job market (java) is still hot, and
    seems to keep hot. and people still wanna jump in.It's still good, just not crazy like it was at the end of the 90's. There is the problem of competition from China, India, Vietnam, etc. that won't go away. But what field hasn't been affected by global competition? Only those areas where you have to touch the client, like auto mechanics. Even medicine has been affected - x-rays can be read anywhere in the world.
    So, still confused to tell people whether or not to START java...;-((If you like programming, jump in. Learn Java, but it's more important to learn those bedrock technologies (e.g., data structures, compilers, parsers, finite automata, decomposition, relational databases, etc.) and learn how to learn. Languages will come and go. When I jumped into this field ten years ago C++ and Corba were the rage and Java didn't exist. Now I make a living writing Java. I'm reading about Ruby and Rails now, just dipping my toes into the water.
    None of us are any better prophets than you are. I don't know what will happen or if Java will still be here ten years from now. COBOL and FORTRAN were born in the 50s, and both are very much with us today.
    Just stop whining about it. Do what makes you happy, and stop worrying about what other people think.

  • I want to program iPhone applications, want to start learning from scratch. Where do I start?

    I have wanted to program for a long time and now I have a mac I want to begin on the wright track. Which language should I start learning and what others will I need in the future? I started learning c++ awhile back but wasn't sure if it was the right language for iPhone development so stopped till I could afford a mac as I couldn't be an iPhone programmer without a mac anyway. Any advice to put me on the right track would be brilliant and much appreciated. Also I heard learning design is a major aspect, when should I learn this or should it just be picked up through learning a language. And I should add I don't want to go to college or university as I am doing this as something ontop of my full time job. Thanks

  • Want to start learning Oracle or PL/SQL from scratch.

    Hello All,
    Please guide me as how to start learning PL/SQL and Oracle from scratch.
    Whether I should follow a particular book and go on as given in the book or should I directly take the queries and all and start solving them.
    Thanks in advance...

    Its a good track. For start you should know the PL/sql and sql very well and you can start it like ORacle developer if not directly DBa and then taking kknowledge of administrationand other modules like Backup and REcovery and Performance tuning you can shift to the DBA side.
    job prospects are very good but you need to be very confident and very alert in this job plus llittle clever as well.
    But for now stop thinking so far and just start learning it and start doing it. Doing it means perform every thing practically.

  • I want to start learning Xcode,

    but im wondering if "Beginning IOS 5 Development" is outdated? Should I wait for "Beginning IOS 6" comes out?

    Just so you know, "Beginning iOS 6 Development" is out! Well, almost. You can buy the digital "alpha book" right now, which contains almost everything, and then you'll automatically get the final digital version within the next week.
    http://www.apress.com/9781430245124
    Or, if you want a paper book, you can pre-order it from Amazon and have it in a couple of weeks.
    http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-iOS-Development-Exploring-SDK/dp/1430245123
    The old version is fine of course, but the new version covers some new material, matches the latest Xcode (which has really changed quite a bit in a year) and has improvements all over the place.

  • Learning java before jsp?

    Do I need to know Java before learning JSP?
    Also, I have a laptop that I am using at home and would like to start learning Java and JSP. Will Tomcat work on my laptop? Can I launch it from my desktop?

    It is not absolutely necessary to learn java before you learn jsp, but you must at least have programming experience. But if you want to do better, then you need to learn java.
    tomcat should run on your laptop.

  • Need Best way to start learning Oracle 11g  DBA

    Hi.This is Tejaswi.
    I want to learn Oracle 11g DBA.I've downloaded all software's and Documentation for Orcl 11g R2. Now. i want to start Learning DBA. Can any one suggest me the best way to Start learning DBA?
    Please suggest me the good books For Oracle Architecture and SQL.......

    Hello Tejaswi,
    The advice you got about reading the Oracle Concepts and 2 Day DBA documentation is very good advice.
    I found that knowing some SQL*Plus and SQL Developer was also very helpful as, they both provide a way to interface with the database and try the things you read about. For SQL Plus, I used the book:
    Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition
    By Jonathan Gennick
    Publisher : O'Reilly
    ISBN : 0-596-00746-9 I openly recommend it. It is easy to read, the book is very well thought out, it covers what you really need to know (and more too). The author explains the subjects very well. I would definitely learn some SQL Plus and SQL developer before getting into the 2 Day DBA document (make those 2 days about 7 days each if not more).
    To learn SQL, I "sort of" used (I say "sort of" because I only read some parts of it available online and at the local bookstore):
    Oracle SQL by Example
    By Alice Rischert
    Publisher: Prentice Hallit probably has more SQL than you'd need as a DBA but, it is an excellent book you may want to consider.
    If you are starting from scratch, as I did, you'll find that you need to learn multiple things at the same time. I believe SQL Plus is the best place to start, along with possibly the Concepts document. That will give you a base to build upon.
    HTH,
