Java Hello World and Console Output: Introduction to Java 1.2

With your Java environment now properly configured, in this tutorial you will learn how to code the traditional “Hello World” program in Java. The Hello World program will be coded and then explained line by line. You can code along with me as we then compile and run the program using the Java Virtual Machine. If you haven’t worked from the command line before, this is an interesting opportunity to put the command line in to action and run this below the Operating System layer.

Setting up the Java Environment: Introduction to Java 1.1

I am getting a lot of requests for some Java videos, so this is the first in a new, ambitious series.

In this tutorial you will learn how to properly configure the Java environment. Java is not exactly plug and play, but getting the JDK (Java Development Kit) to work is not hard to do if you follow the steps in this video!

In this video we will download the Java JDK, install it, and then configure it. If you’ve been mystified by instructions to set up the PATH variable, this video will show you that too! Finally we’ll test the configuration with the traditional Hello World Program.

I tried to explain that while his product had some nice effects, and certainly would save time for someone doing animation to enhance their eLearning presentation, it did not at all tap in to the power of Actionscript.

While not a current platform it does give a really great introduction in to handheld game production.

This video discusses a couple of very important concepts in C. First simple If conditinals are reviewed. Then the Else and Else If statements are introduced to make long, complex conditionals. The logic of if conditionals is than expanded so that AND and OR conditionals can be created.
