Java Programming Language

What is Java ?

      Java is a general-purpose computer-programming language developed in June 1991 by James Gosling a former computer scientist with Sun Microsystems.

Java programming is used to produce software for multiple platforms ( Windows, Linux, Mac OS , etc).Java derives much of its syntax from the C and C++ programming languages. There are lots of applications and websites that will not work unless you have Java installed and more are created everyday.
                  


    Why is it called Java? 
        In 1991, Sun Microsystems had a requirement, to prepare new programming language used to develop software for electronic devices like TV Switch boxes, Remote Controller, etc. Initially James Gosling named Java as Oak ( It is a tree name ),
Oak Tree
but Sun Microsystems rejected Oak because already a programming language is existed with name Oak. Later it was renamed Java ( Java is coffee name and it is an island of Indonesia where Java Coffee plants were grown. ).


Why Java Programming ?

  • Java is a platform independent, when a programmer writes a Java application, the complied code(known as bytecode) runs on most operating systems(OS), including Windows, Linux, Mac OS.                                                                                                       
  • Java is Simple programming language. If any programming language take  
  1. Less Execution Time.
  2. Less Memory Utilisation.
  3. Less Power Consumption, then it is called simple programming language.
  • Java is tight coded programming language means small length code.
In C

    In Java

  • Java programming is Architectural Neutral.
  • It is Object Oriented Programming language.

Where Java is Used ?

      Java is the most popular language in today's world billion of devices running on a Java platform.
  • Desktop GUI Application : GUI Applications like
  • Scientific Application : Java supports to scientific application development, because of its security powerful, robustness features, much scientific application based on Java technology like MATLAB.
  • Enterprise Application : Java is the most secure language that is a reason most of the Banking Applications developed on Java platform.
  • Web Application : Java is used to develop web application also to support the java has provided JSP, Servlet, Structs, Spring, Hibernate.
  • Mobile Application : A mobile application can easily developed with the help of Java. In today's world, every phone has android OS which is based on Java and we also have java mobile phones.
