Creating Java/flash applications?

Question

I'm looking for a beginners sort of guide to creating applications with really any scripting language. I've got a little experience with C++ and TI Basic. Can someone point me in the right direction in terms of which languages and programs to use to begin creating basic and eventually complex applications? If it matters, my operating system is Windows Vista.

Answer 1

Keep in mind, scripting languages are usually not fully-featured. Examples of scripting languages: JavaScript, VBScript

Examples of fully-featured programming languages: Java, VisualBasic, C#, C++, C



In my opinion, Java is a fairly easy language to get started in and it is also very robust. Here is how to get started:



1 )Go to the sun java website>>downloads>>Java SE>>and download the Java JDK and install it.

2 )Download a java Integrated Development Environment such as NetBeans and install it.

3 )Go to the sun java website>>API>>Java SE>>Standard Edition 6>>Core API Docs to see a full list of java package libraries with very good descriptions and links to tutorials.

4 )Search for java tutorial or go to java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ to get a list of very detailed tutorials to help you program from very simple to very complicated.





If you want to dive into C and C++, I recommend you find and download cygwin and when installing, chose gcc4 package for the C compiler (gcc) and the C++ compiler (g++). Then you can create programs with a simple text editor and compile them in cygwin. If you want to compile for windows machines instead of only unix, use "gcc -mno-cygwin source.c -o program.exe" and "g++ -mno-cygwin source.c -o program.exe". Then you can search the internet for simple tutorials and code samples to playa round with.



If you want to dive into C++, C#, or VB .NET using an IDE, you can get the free Windows Visual Studio Express Editions. Then you can use the MSDN programmer's reference library to find tutorials and language specifications.

Here is what you need to do:

...get Java at www.java.com.

...get the JDK/SDK (java development kit) at java.sun.com

...get the JRE from the same site.

...get the NetBeans IDE from the same site.



To learn java, first I suggest you search this:

"Introduction to Java Programming" on google, then you should find some guy's site with a PDF file with the book you need.
