What's a good way to start practicing with Java besides SoloLearn's code playground?

Question

i'm not sure if i can use notepad to run/test my code for java just like in css/html. I read somewhere that i could use an IDE, but they look more complicated than what i want to use it for. Can someone recommend something easy?

Answer 1

Personally, I’d recommend using Eclipse and watching a short video on how to use it for the basic purpose of creating a java project, creating a java class and running your program, it’s quite simple and very much worth using as it will allow you to catch mistakes as you work to prevent headaches later on.
