Beginning Programming With Java

The book I read to research this post was Beginning Programming With Java For Dummies by Barry Burd which is a very good book which I bought from Kindle. If you are new to programming java is relatively easy compared to a lot of programming languages. This book recommends a program called eclipse which is free, for writing java although there are quite a few programs out there that do the same job. Java was developed when someone was writing a program in one of the C languages and was having problems so he decided to write an intuitive language to make his job easier. Java will work on practically any computer as long as it's not really ancient. It runs on windows, linux and applemacs. The main purpose of java is to write plugins for a website but it can be used to write programs and many electronic items like mobile phones have their operating systems written in it. A darker purpose java is sometimes used for is the writing of viruses and some people disable the part of their internet browser that reads java for this reason. A couple of common mistakes people writing java make are having a space where there should be a character and either having too many or not enough parenthesis. You normally have an even number of these one either side of a statement.
