Help me on this computer programming question, PLEASE!?
If you want to learn Java I'd recommend installing netbeans, (http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/index... you'll probably want one of the ones near the bottom with the jdk) it's free.





Netbeans does a lot of java stuff for you automatically, like all the compiling and running. It also comes with a lot of good examples and tutorials.

You need what is called a "Compiler", This is an interpreter. It takes your symbolic code (be it Java, C++, Visual BASIC, etc.) and breaks it down in machine code (0's and 1's) that the computer can understand. There is an intermediary Language called an "Assembler", these are usually computer specific.





Nuff said?





P.S.


You have to be able to think in logical order, unlike writing a novel every step has to follow another step to tell the computer what to do, how to follow a set of instruction. No matter what computer language you use to program with.
Reply:if you are just starting, try visual studio express (www.microsoft.com/vstudio/express). it is an extremely good way to get introduced to programming.
Reply:First, you should get training or go to school and learn one or more programming languages!
Reply:For java, download the Java Development Kit (JDK). It's free from Sun: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ind...


-- There's also an official tutorial from Sun at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/





For C++, there are lots of resources on C++ and free compilers you can download here: http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/...





If you attend a class, you will also receive the software you need. It may also be less intimidating as you can readily ask question and get feedback from others around you who are also learning. Just take it at a community college. Good luck!
Reply:firstly, what type of program would you like to create? do you want to create a database program? do you want to create a game to play? each type of programming will lead you to a different type of programming style.





there is VB (Visual Basic), C++, Java and a whole lot more. it really depends on what you want to do first. saying that you want to do computer programming is very general. you have to ask yourself what type you want to learn first.





by my count, i would recomment C programming language first. it is by far the easiest to learn and easiest to execute. simple IF ELSE statements to learn how the basic thing works first before moving on to more advanced languages like Java and Visual Basic / Studio.
