Hi guys my son at High school is currently learning all about VB Script and really enjoying it, he is using front page 2000 and word to build programs etc
He is wanting to do Java as well and wondered about java writing programs? is that the right term? what does he need to write Java? any advice for him much appreciated.

You'll need an editor to write your programs, word and frontpage aren't great for writing programs.
Some people use notepad. For geting started you could try RealJ [URL]http://www.sharewareorder.com/RealJ-3-6-FreeJava-download-3292.htm[/URL]
To compile and run the java programs you'll need the JAVA SDK.
Go to www.java.sun.com and follow these instructions
1. Go to the Java web site.
2. Locate Java products and find the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition.
3. Go to the download page for the most current SDK version that's available for your platform.
4. After clicking on the download button, follow the instructions. Note the name of the file and the download size.
5. Select one of the FTP download options, unless you're behind a firewall and you need to use the HTTP option.
6. Save the setup file to your hard disk. On a 56K modem, it takes about 2 hours to down-load this file.
7. Once the entire package has downloaded, check to make sure that you got the executable and that the size is correct. Otherwise, you will get an error when you try to run the executable.
8. Run the exe file, and respond to the resulting dialog boxes. When you're prompted for the SDK directory, use the default directory and install all of the components unless disk space is a problem.
You'll also need to configure the SDK with your system, should be information with the download that tell you how to go about doing this (Havn't done it for a while so can't remember.)
He'll then need to learn how to write, compile and run programs.
There are lots of good resources on the internet, try google searching for 'java for beginners' or something similar.
