JAVA

 

Java is a high-level programming language invented by Sun Microsystems. It has its roots in a language called OAK developed for real time systems inside handhelds and set top boxes, but 1995 it was changed into java to face the needs of the internet.

Java is object oriented like C++, but learned some lessons of common programming errors from C. It is strongly typed.

Java is platform independent. Java Source is first compiled to a platform independent byte code. For different hardware platforms there are so called Virtual Machines, which then can interpret the byte code, converting it to the machine specific commands on the fly. Java Virtual Machines are now available for all major operating systems, including UNIX, Macintosh and Windows.

Java now is a general purpose programming language with a huge number of extensions (class libraries) for many areas like database transaction, embedded applications, server and client side applications and applets (small client applications embedded into web pages).
