    I am completely new to programming but would like to get into it.

    I downloaded JDK 5.0 update 14 and set the path. (i think)

    Now how do I write a program? Do I write it in notepad or wtf? There
    is no program to open to write anything in.

    Sorry I'm a total newb at this.

    I thought it would be somewhat like scar, where you open a program and paste the script into it.

    There is no program to open or anything.

    You have to have an editor to program in. I suggest Notepad+ or Eclipse. You can also write it in notepad, but it is less organized. When you save a java file you have to save it as Namehere.java . Than you need to compile it to a class, than you have to run the class file.

    I recommend using eclipse. I found it very easy to use when starting Java.
