René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Clean up \"Running Your First Java Application\"","articleBody":"Now that IDE articles have been added, the \"Running Your First Java Application\" section contains 6 articles which may be a bit overwhelming. After all, does it really make sense to let people read through 6 articles about their \"First Java Application\"? Having a list of articles explaining what's necessary for the \"First Java Application\" is not giving people motivation to use that programming language.\r\n\r\nIn order to do this, I have the following suggestions:\r\n- **Group the IDE articles to their own article series/tutorial group and keep one link to that tutorial group in the \"Running Your First Java Application\" section.** The short description shown on [/learn](https://dev.java/learn/) should tell developers that using an IDE makes writing Java applications easier. I also mentioned this in #77 and similar.\r\n- **Move [Jshell - The Java Shell Tool](https://dev.java/learn/jshell-tool/) to a later section like \"Getting to know the JVM\".** Beginners typically don't use `jshell`. While that tool may be good for demonstration, people starting with Java want to write programs (I think). Trying jshell is probably just confusing. Also, once the new On-Ramp features are finalized, there is even less of a reason for beginners to use jshell as they can experiment with a very simple source code file. Once that is done, it might be a good idea to update [Getting Started with Java](https://dev.java/learn/getting-started/) and/or [Launching Single-File Source-Code Programs](https://dev.java/learn/single-file-program/).\r\n\r\nThis is a restructuring suggestion similar to #54.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/danthe1st","@type":"Person","name":"danthe1st"},"datePublished":"2024-05-05T16:57:18.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/95/devjava-content/issues/95"}
