Talk:Java Programming/First Java Program

Hello, World Considered Harmful
I really dislike a Hello, World application as a first Java program. I propose User:Djb//First_Java_Program as a replacement for this page. The first Java class there, and the associated discussions may look more complicated but I think it will be much more educational and provide a better way of introducing Java as an OO language. This proposed first class also provides many opportunities to introduce other language concepts such as refactoring, overloading, packages, etc., all from a simple, understandable basis. I've not fleshed out the discussions here; I will work on them later... --djb 02:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Net Beans
Hello, I am a user of limited coding experiance by most standards. I was hoping to rely on this (and another tutorial hosted in Wikiversity) to pick up some Java, however, even with a few modifications made by seemingly intelligent reasoning, my IDE, Net Beans does not want to compile your code to the effect promised... or at all really. Someone please re-evaluate this code or add notes for my fellow Net Beans users, thank you. Zeotronic 01:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
