Programming can be a very intimidating concept, and
individuals may fear attempting to understand and learn a programming language.
Although programming can seem scary, there are several ways individuals can
seek and help and support while navigating the programming. Java is one of many
programming languages available. When starting with Java, it is crucial to
understand what Java is and the steps needed to implement this programming on their
systems. First, let’s a look at the concepts and features of the
object-oriented design principles within Java. Java includes several concepts
within the program. First, we have objects, which are software bundles of
related state and behavior. Classes are blueprints or prototypes from which
objects are created. We also have Inheritance, which provides a powerful and
natural mechanism for organizing and structuring software. An interface is a
contract between a class and the outside world. Packages are namespaces for
logically organizing classes and interfaces (Oracle. 2015).
In
order to utilize Java, there are two programs needed. The Java development kit
and an integrated development environment or IDE. In this case, we use the link
within the tutorial provided to download the NetBeans IDE. Each program is
required to run Java programs. The link provided below includes links for both
required programs. Once both programs are downloaded, the coding can begin. One
recommendation to help individuals become more familiar with the interface is
starting by working with a simple Java program such as “Hello, My Name is” or
Hello World.” For further help with Java, please see the several blogs and
tutorials available online.
