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.

5 Reasons Programming/Programmers are Needed in eLearning

Last month I was approached by a clueless vendor at the Learning Solutions Conference in Orlando, Florida. After making small talk he said, “Well if you’re an Actionscript programmer, you NEED to see our product.”

He proceeded to demonstrate the typical Powerpoint plug in approach, which had some canned Flash text effects and fades. 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.

Training for Software, Web and eLearning Developers

Finding the right team to train your developers can be a difficult task. The stakes are high! Training is time-consuming, expensive and even disruptive. However training is often not a luxury– It’s a necessity. The technical environment within which developers work is constantly changing. New software development kits are being released constantly. Operating systems are changing and the demands of clients are ever increasing. Training may be required to help your developers finish a project, change to a new platform, or even simply to keep up with the competition.

LearnToProgram.TV offers a unique approach to instructor led training. While you will find many training companies offer canned curriculum that are designed to be one-size-fits-all, LearnToProgram.TV offers customized courses that are guaranteed to meet your needs. We are not certification based. In fact, we offer no courses that lead to certifications at all– Instead, we train developers to solve the actual problems they will encounter in a production environment. For example, in our customized Adobe Flex Training Classes we often have participants build full streaming multimedia applications that are often part of the rich interfaces that Flex is known for helping create. In our Java classes, instead of just learning the basics of socket programming, training participants create an instant messenger with a Graphical User Interface that communicates across the classroom local area network.

We seek to provide not only customization, but also value. With competitive instructional fees, high levels of customization, and an award winning instructional team you can’t go wrong with LearnToProgram.TV. We’re so convinced that you’ll find the training we provide satifactory that we guarantee it!

If you’re looking to take programming exams and hang certifications on your wall– Look elsewhere! If you’re trying to put together a development team that can get the job done, on time and within budget, every time, contact us. We’d be happy to show you how we’d customize training for your team.

Thanks for the Kind Words…

I am always touched when students in my training sessions write something nice about me in the class evaluations. This past week I taught a beginning/advanced Java class in Washington DC for Westlake Training.

This was one of those classes where the participants and I really hit it off. Here’s what they had to say:

“I enjoyed the Instructor, he was engaging and made the course material easy to understand. I felt like I was able to cover a lot but that we never moved on until I understood the material. Also, since the class lasts for 8 hours, it helped that he had a lot of interesting sidebars to keep it interesting.”

“I really liked the 80s power ballads! I also liked the pace of the class, and how it was tailored to fit the needs of the students in the class. Mark made an extra effort to veer off topic to cover other useful material that our class needed wasn’t on the schedule, and I think that the class appreciated that.”
