Use Eclipse. It's pretty good.

>>5836542

go to python.org

>>5836542
Download any IDE or download the libraries and use notepad.

Why Java? Learn C++ or C if you want to do something practical. If you just want to play with algorithms, learn a simple, but still powerful language like python. If you want to challenge yourself, try haskell or LISP

Nothing remotely interesting has ever been programmed in Java. Learn C.

minecraft. although it would be x5 faster and x10 ram hogging if it was written in c.

Download the JDK from java.org. If you're new to Java, start off with BlueJ (I know, it sucks, but it's pretty good for learning, because it's a small IDE).

But like the others said, Java sucks. Use Python instead. Good concept, pretty easy to learn, many libs

i programmed your mama in java if you know what i mean and i think you do

>>5837592
tell that to anything that isn't on your computer.

Java is good and the most used language
download the SDK from oracle and download eclipse IDE

>supposed to watch some documentary on biology
(via projector)
>biology teacher says her laptop is broken.
>says we have to wait for the IT guy to fix it
>can't leave untill we watch it, can't watch it until it's fixed
>Wait until she goes to the bathroom
>I open CMD and find the code for HDMI output
>JavaSkills.wmv
>open up the source code
>append a few lines

>close notepad
She walks in and starts yelling at me, I open up the movie and she immediately shuts up.

yah right..

I have another one.
>helping my friend into computer
>the window manager keeps freezing after like 5 minutes on startup
>his brother walks in and starts bitching about how he should have asked him first
>says I'm not good with computers and anything I do is either useless and/or a waste of time
>tells us we should just give up
I plug in my USB and show him the FirstPersonShooter I made in Java, and he immediately shuts up.

Last one
(sorry it takes awhile to type this up)
>learning Java
>friend tells me Java sucks and it has terrible memory allocation
>this is ridiculous because I taught him everything he knows
>Tell him that minecraft was written in Java
>it's like his favorite game evar and like the only game his shitty comp can play
>he turns red in the face
>and starts yelling at me about memory allocation
>brokenrecord.wma
so I tell him that if he doesn't stop yelling, I'll tell his mom about the time I caught him jacking off while standing over his baby-sister, he immediately shuts up.

all of your posts are copypasta. I've seen them all before on /b/.

>>5837688

Seriously? This makes me kinda sad.

I made this for /g/, and until now have only reposted it on /g/.

But anyways, all pasta is bad pasta.

i appreciate all your help guys, still monitoring too

as far as C is concerned. C+, C++, C#, C? also if it makes a difference i enjoy working heavily with the mathematical algorithms and well the practicality and marketability of the GUI.

There is some good pasta.

I'd go with C first, then C++ or C# depending on what you are doing with it(I'm actually ignorant of the practicality of C#).
My personal programming learning went from Python, then C, then Fortran and C++ for specific projects. Now I use Python + C. Python is just easy and convenient, and using C with Python for the heavy calculations avoids the inefficiency of number crunching with a scripting language.
I will never use Fortran again, and I only use C++ occasionally for graphical stuff.

>I'd go with C first

absolutely no reason to do this.
