Part 1 - Getting Started

>

The Java Development Kit – JDK

In order to get started in Java programming, one needs to get a recent copy of the Java JDK. This can be obtained for free by downloading it from the Sun Microsystems website, http://java.sun.com/

Once you download and install this JDK you are ready to get started. You need a text editor as well and Microsoft’s Notepad (standard with all Windows versions) suits fine.
