Netbeans was installed successfully! Here is a screenshot. Failures First I installed netbeans by changing to root. And this failed. Steps Suppose you are currently logged in as user1. > su > Now type the password. manojtesting You are "root". Now if you run the Netbeans installer , it fails. But if you dont do "su", then Netbeans gets installed successfully!!

The jdk was downloaded as .bin Running it as ./filename did not work. Nor did just typing the filename. Google gave the answer like this.. sh filename.bin It worked!! First the license agreement... Pressed "Enter" a zillion times...:) Now i type "yes" and press "Enter". It worked!! JDK was installed. Output Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 successfully installed. JDK never asks the user where to install the Jdk. It installs itself in the same directory where the jdk installer was run.. Just remember that!!!

Downloaded Netbeand 6.1 Linux version. My linux box is OpenSuse, by the way. Installing it gave me the message.. It cannot find the jdk. Checking that ..found it to be true.. the machine did not have jdk, only java runtime. Going to the sun site Ya, here it is. Linux self-extracting file jdk-6u6-linux-i586.bin 67.25 MB Will take one hour approximately... See you in one hour...

I like doing these kinds of stuff ;) Here is the photo...!!

Baby Steps... First you must have an editor. For practical reasons, I suggest Netbeans IDE 6.1 Go ahead and download it. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux! First program -Hello world puts displays output to the screen. To print hello world: puts "Hellow world" (Bold letters are source code). The opposite of puts is gets. eg: value =gets() It returns whatever the user has typed on the screen. you can embed a variable inside a string like this. Syntax: print( 'What is your name: ' ) name = gets() puts( "Hello #{name}" ) By the way, I tried "SciTE" - the default editor which comes with Ruby. Good, but not great. Then I tried Netbeans 6.1. It was amazing!! 1. Intelli sense -> you type a method, all methods are there in the pop-up, with descriptions and usage! A great tool to learn the language and get good at it!! 2. Auto completion -> You say "def" and type the function name and "end" is automatically typed and align...
