Our first program in T411

Write the program in Notepad

Fire up Notepad
start → Accessories → Notepad
(Sometimes Accessories is a folder on the desktop)
This should bring up Notepad:
Now type in the text for the program:
Important: Java is case-sensitive, so be careful to capitalize where shown.
Use Save as... and save the file as HelloWorld.java in your T: drive. (You may need to click on "My Computer" on the left to see the drive.)
Important: the filename is also case-sensitive.
Leave Notepad as is for now.

Go to start → Run and type in cmd:
In the command-prompt window, type in T: (with the colon) to put you in the T: drive.
Now list the files in there by typing dir and you should see HelloWorld.java:
Next, compile the Java program by typing javac HelloWorld.java
You will note that nothing appears to happen
=> Later, we will learn that this is a good thing (no errors reported)
