Installing Java

OK so here it goes..
We are ready to get started with programming with Java.

First:  Here is the Web site where Java JDK can be downloaded .
          http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
 
Second: Download Java Platform (JDK) ensure you chose the right operating
              system and the correct bit size 32 or 64.

Well done you are on your way to becoming a programmer :)
When coding or writing a program, this is done in an editor.
This can be TextPad, Eclipse, Notepad++.

These can be all downloaded for free..
Id advise Eclipse as it will come in handy later on when your programs become much more complex.

When downloading any type of editor ensure its for the correct operating system and bit size just like the Java (JDK) package.

Next we will have an introduction on how to write simple programs.
