AI Thread Summary
For Java development on Windows 8, Notepad++ is insufficient for compiling and running Java code. The Processing IDE is recommended for interactive graphics and comes with Java embedded. For a more comprehensive development experience, downloading NetBeans or Eclipse is advised, as these IDEs include Java and offer features like code completion and API lookup, which are essential for professional programming. Alternatively, downloading the JDK from Oracle and using a text editor is an option, but a syntax-aware editor is beneficial for Java coding. Users should ensure they have the correct version of the software for their platform to avoid issues.

I'm using Windows 8 and I have Notepad++ for coding in Java but I need a development kit for Java that can compile and run Java. I went to the website java.sun.com to download J2SE but it doesn't work.

The short answer is you could consider the Processing IDE. It allows you to code in Java within a context of doing interactive graphics. I think it comes with Java embedded.

https://processing.org

The long answer would be to download Netbeans or eclipse which come with Java embedded inside and allow you to do full application projects. These are the tools that professional programmers use for development. The IDE editor will do code completion, colorize, look up api and a lot of other features.

https://netbeans.org/downloads/

The economical answer is to download the JDK from Oracle and install it and use your platform editor. However it really helps to have a syntax colorizing editor familiar with Java structure and keywords.
 
What problem are you experiencing? Did you download the right version for your platform?

Thread 'Touch-typing for programmers'

What percentage of programmers have learned to touch type? Have you? Do you think it's important, not just for programming, but for more-than-casual computer users generally? ChatGPT didn't have much on it ("Research indicates that less than 20% of people can touch type fluently, with many relying on the hunt-and-peck method for typing ."). 'Hunt-and-peck method' made me smile. It added, "For programmers, touch typing is a valuable skill that can enhance speed, accuracy, and focus. While...

Thread 'Microsoft Technical Interview question'

I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
