Setup JAVA development environment on your machine and start coding in JAVA.
I have worked with Java on and off for the last 6-7 years but I still had a few fundamental questions/concerns like-:
1.) Why do I need JDK to write a Java Program?
2.) Should I install JDK vs JRE?
3.) Is Java 1.8 and Java 8 the same?
4.) Where should I install Java from?
and many more.
In this video, I am discussing answers to all of the above questions plus capturing how to install IntelliJ and setup Java from scratch.
TL;DR
Summary of the video
JDK contains Java compiler, java doc, java debugger, etc. All of them are integral to code and compile a java program.
A couple of years ago JRE and JDK used to come as a separate distribution but now JRE comes with JDK. Although JRE can also be downloaded separately.
Java versioning scheme has changed after Java 8 and there is no more 1.x in the versions anymore. With each new version we get Java x and Jdk x e.g. March 2021, Java 16 got released with Jdk 16. I am covering this topic in detail in the video.
I write and record videos on various platforms about programming. These days I am writing mostly about JAVA.
