2. Setting it Up

Before we start learning how to code in Java, let us set up a complete environment dedicated to that purpose. This is what you should do:

1. Download and install BlueJ from here. BlueJ is a simple and efficient Integrated Development Environment(IDE) for Java.

2. Once you have finished the installation process, run BlueJ, and and create a new Project. A project is nothing but a folder in which all your files will be saved. By default, a new Project will be created in your 'My Documents' folder(if you're a Windows user, that is).

3. That's it. We're done. You can now proceed to the next post- The 'Hello World' program.
