Hello. My name is James Cox and, in truly backward fashion, I found this board after my first and second posts.

I am a Java developer working to embed LaTeX in my magnum opus, Matt's MathTools. I just recently took the plunge into LaTeX and I'm looking forward to more of it in my future. My tool-of-choice is MiKTeX Portable and I heartily recommend it to anyone who wants a gentle learning curve into the world of LaTeX.

Hi and welcome to the board.

Every LaTeX-beginner should read a good introduction before doing some »real stuff«. This guarantees fast progress.

Please think about the difference between the TeX-distribution, the editor and the program pdflatex.
