Java is one of many programming languages that use the object-oriented programming concept. To start making programs with Java, you will need to download the Java Development Kit. The development kit has the tools to compile and run Java programs.

Download the Java Development Kit from Here:  https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-glance.html

On the download page, make sure you choose the right Operating System. I choosed version 19 for windows x64, which is the latest one at the time of this writing. Once downloaded, run the file, and you will be guided through the installation through a wizard.


 

Now that it has been installed, you can program in Java. Programming in Java can be done with a simple text editor like notepad and notepad++. However, for beginners, IDE like NetBeans and Visual Studio Code are highly recommended.

Download NetBeans: https://netbeans.apache.org/download/index.html

Download Visual Studio Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/download

 

Now that you have the right software, you can start programming in Java by creating the Hello world program. This program is the initial program created in a new project in NetBeans.

 


Once you have made your program, the concept of objected oriented programming will be your initial start to learning how to make more complex programs than hello world! With this program, you already have made a package, class, and object.
