| <a href="http://www.java.com/en/about/">What is Java</a>? |
| Java is the most widely used object-oriented programming language. |
| Java applications run on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, |
| and many other operating systems. |
| </p> |
| <p class="tips"> |
| Start your programming career by learning |
| <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/index.html">Java SE</a> (Java Standard Edition) |
| and teach yourself to develop professional applications |
| for desktop PCs, such as utilities and games. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To get started, download and install the |
| <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">Java Development Kit (JDK)</a>, |
| and the latest <a href="https://netbeans.org/downloads/">NetBeans IDE</a> today! |
| The Java Development Kit (JDK) contains all the tools you need to compile code |
| and run your newly written applications. |
| The NetBeans IDE (integrated development environment) is an optional software utility |
| that makes all these tools more easily accessible. |
