Using NOTEPAD as a “funnel” for java programming

1. Create a special folder for all your beginning programming work. Name it “Programming 2010”.

2. Open up NOTEPAD

3. Navigate in Internet Explorer to the course calendar. Click the first link for February 3.

4. Copy the text that you see from the link.

5. Paste the text into NOTEPAD.

6. Save the NOTEPAD file as “Sample.java” in the folder created in step 1.

7. Navigate in Windows Explorer to the new folder

8. Open up the file you just saved.

9. The file should open up in JCreator.

10. Click on Build, select Compile file. If errors exist, they need to be fixed now.

11. Click on Build, select Execute file.

This should end by giving us a first example of an interactive program done in Java. Mr. VL will have some additional things to try and discuss regarding this sample.
