Java Web ‘Hello World’
As a Web Developer I naturally enjoy web development and writing a blog has always been on my mind. I start and stop and start and well. You get the message. I’ve even tried my hand at podcasting. With this post I want to introduce people to the NetBeans IDE and to get us started I want to show how to get a hello world running in java through a JSP page. In the future I’ll talk about Servlets and session handling but for now it’s get up and running time.
I love java for some reason. Maybe because it’s the first language I really sunk my teeth into. Anyhow, first off any aspiring developer should download install and familiarize themselves with an IDE. IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. Some people swear by Eclipse because of its extensibility and it has its uses but for me NetBeans has it made. It’s released by Sun, the JAVA people so it’s got some neat features like auto formatting that make a developers life easier.
So, first you need to travel to NetBeans.org and download the latest version of NetBeans. You should be looking for the Java version or the all version. Really you just want a version that ticks the Java Web and EE box. Oh, and make sure you’ve got JavaScript enabled or you won’t see anything.
