Full Tutorials On How To Program: Java


Java is a widely used programming language that has a vast range of applications. 
Java can be used to code internet applications, desktop applications and software for embedded systems or devices.
Before I commence with my introduction I would like to make known some points.
if you are reading this post I am sure you know what a computer is or should I start explaining? The answer is NO.
If you do not know what a computer is i don't know what to tell you. lol.
Ok that said do you know that a computer is a hardware? The answer is YES. Why am I even asking this stupid questions? I don't know
With that said I have another question do you know that a computer is nothing without a software?
The answer is hmmm... YES.


Now what is a software?
A software is a set of written instructions that tells the computer what to do.
Therefore a program is generally a software right? YES
Now, these programs have their own languages just as we humans have ours but the thing is there languages are generally classified into three which are:

1. Machine Language
2. Assembly Language
3. High Level Language

Machine languages are set of instructions written in 0's and 1's that tells the computer what to do which only the computer understands.
Assembly languages are a better version of machine languages that are partly comprehensive by humans and just use few English words to convey their instructions. 
This instructions need an assembler to convert them into object or machine code.
High Level Languages are English-like sets of instructions that are used to instruct the computer on what to do. These high level languages needs an interpreter or compiler to convert them to machine or object code.
Humans understand high level languages better.

Quick Question: Out of these three classes of programming languages which class does Java fall on?
Answer: Your guess is as good as mine. High Level Languages of course.

There are so many high level languages in use today but as of now we are going to handle Java squarely.

Coming down to software, I would like you to know that there are basically two types of software which are:

1.   Application Software
2.   System Software

Examples of System software are operating systems, drivers etc.
Examples of Application software are software like MS Office, Corel Draw, Need For Speed, FIFA 16 etc.

Java is mainly used to write application software. So, by the time we are done you should be able to write your own application software ok?

I would also like you to note that java is platform independent which means that you can write a program once and run it anywhere.

Since today is just like an awareness. I will not start right away. We begin session fully tomorrow so I advise you to like our page on Facebook so you can easily catch up at all times.

Here are the materials you need for this tutorials to be a NERD JAVA PROGRAMMER

1.   Laptop
2.   NetBeans IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

That is all!!!

You can install the NetBeans IDE by clicking this link Net Beans IDE

So, get your brain, laptop and mind ready because you will be entering a journey to the world of Java tomorrow with me and please endeavor to install your NetBeans IDE before tomorrow, the installation process is very straight forward, just follow the computer wizard.

Peace!!
