Hey,
I am wanting to learn Java, and i was wondering where i can get a compiler from. I have looked all over the web for the 'Java Developement Kit' but cease to find it, even on the 'java.Sun.com' website which is poorly layed out!! If you could point me in the direction for this i will be greatful.
Also is it a hard programming language to learn? If it uses Formulas i should be alright.
Thankyou
James

Not really, i think its quite intuitive.

For example this snatch of code;

g.SetColor(Color.red){
g.FillOval(324 , 34, 43, 234){

Will draw a filled red oval at the above co-ordinates with the first 2 numbers in the 4 number sequence being the ovals height and width.

Mind you, ive not studied it for a long time now, so im sure some of the above will be a bit off.

Yeah, though I must point out g is a rubbish object name. I got told off for that by my tutor, even though I was just giving an example and the wasn't actually using it in handwritten code - just to save time on the board.

I'd say a very good language to start on is Perl. It's not that hard to get into the basics of it and lets you ease yourself into other, more complex programming languages.

Never really looked into Java, mind.

Make a program in java
Compile it using javac
Run it using java, provided the previous step didn't show any errors
