What am I doing wrong with my first program?

So, I am new to Java, and I am trying to get my first program to run, I have typed it out exactley as the book for my college class states but I keep getting a "Not a Statement" error, because it is missing a ;, but as you can see it's there.

public class FirstProgram { public static void main(String[] args){ System,out.println("This is my first Java program"); }

}

It looks like there's a comma between "System" and "out", but it should be a period.
