Reality Check




PostPosted: Wed Feb 07, 2007 3:05 pm   Post subject: So I just started learning Java in school...

and I fully intend to learn most of it independently (using tutorials from this site) as I did with Turing. I find it easier if I just learn from home. Anyways, the IDE my teacher told us to use was ready to program. She also told us to use the hsa console instead of just using System. She told me the console has benefits and that ready to program is easier to program in. Now, I don't care if other IDE's are harder. I want to know which one will benefit me more in the future. She told me I could use whichever IDE I like at home and not use Console if I wanted to when handing things in but she warned me that ready to program is better for beginners. I just wanted to get the opinion of you guys whether I should stick with ready to program or go for the more complex stuff. Thanks a lot.

Here's a simple suggestion that won't result in any kind of war between IDEs:

Don't use one. Just use a good text editor, and the command-line.

If you don't know how to use the command-line in Windows... well, then now's the time to learn. Smile

google's a good place to start Wink

basically:

cd "change directory"
dir "directories" - shows all current files and folders in the current directory
and for Java:
javac *.java - compiles your Java code
java <filename> - runs your compiled Java code

This is a very basic runthrough of what you need to compile and run your Java programs. Don't forget to edit you PATH variable when you install the compiler too Very Happy
