Java and OOP
Today I want to talk to you all about Java and Object Orientated Programming or OOP for short, this in no way is going to be a tutorial but rather guidance and support for the topic at hand. The first thing you are going to want to do is download an IDE, and IDE is an integrated development environment. This is used to interpret what we want our programs to do into a language your computer can understand. There are hundreds of different IDE's out on the web so do your research on one that feels comfortable to you. I chose NetBeans for my IDE; it is simple to understand for beginners and doesn't overcomplicate its mechanics. You can find NetBeans on Apache's website free to download. I have included a link for the download if you choose to use it.
Object Orientated Programming
I don't want to sit here and confuse you with rather complex words, so don't take the reading as something you should entirely understand. OOP's consist of Class, Object, Inheritance, Encapsulation and abstraction polymorphism. Do you need to know what those are? No, but it's good to take note of those words because we will discuss them through my future posts. OOP's are a vital part in the Java language. They allow the developer to pinpoint errors in their code without having to check massive amounts of lines of code, it allows a developer to take one massive problem and break them down into smaller, more manageable issues, and it makes your Java code more flexible. Keep in mind, this is just an introductory to Java and OPP, we will dive deeper into the mechanics through our research!!
