Java & Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

 New to coding with Java!

 As a newbie myself, I with provide you with information and links to help make downloading Java to your computer easier. In addition, I will provide some information on objected-oriented programming (OOP). 

Let's start from the beginning, downloading Java! Allow I was provided a link to land myself on the oracle webpage (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/index.html), the majority of the information on getting started with Java. The information provides an overview of Java, a hands-on approach to Java, discusses applications, and common problems. All very good information! I suggest reviewing each link to grasp a full understanding of starting Java. The "Hello World!" Application will provide the you the necessary steps to not only install Java, but also create a "Hello World!" application step-by-step. Below is the direct link to the webpage:

Objected-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that uses the concept of classes and objects to structure software programs. OOP's turn software programs into reusable pieces of code, which can be used to create instances of objects. OOP's have four major principles: Encapsulation, Data Abstraction, Polymorphism, and Inheritance.  Below, I will provide a links to assist in understanding the four major principles and concepts of OOP's.
