JAVA: 1st app created "Hello World"

Software: Eclipse (free)
Book: Java How to Program 5th Edition

I just successfully created my first application. It's aptly titled as, "Hello, world!" This was actually a lucky guess on where to type the additions. I googled up a tutorial that had a screenshot of that section. This is scary!! I have no idea what I'm looking at.

Anyways the gist of it is that from the gibberish up top it successfully outputted the words "Hello World" and no error messages.

Programming: JAVA 101

So its come to my attention that mediocre artists need an edge over the billions of raw talent out there.These days even a 7 year old can write program and that anyone can program but the difference is in good programmers and bad ones. I'm using this book:

Java: How to Program Fifth Edition by Deitel (Text+lab book)
ISBN 0131016210

I actually tossed the lab book thinking it was a duplicate a few years back and ended up scrambling to buy a replacement. Cheers for ebay/amazon.com for cheap books and old copies.

Comment: this is mind boggling I got lost in chapter 2 when they said change directories in c prompt command window. Lawl I'm going to be quite busy with all this
