About JAVA


Where does java has come from?
In the history of programming languages B led to C, C with some additional features has become C++ and C++ with some more additional features shaped Java. Java is the mix of best programming elements in all programming languages.
What is the need to learn Java?
The answer for this question comes from java's unique features it offers.
Java is being used in internet extensively because of it's platform independence. Byte code is the reason for this.
Why would developers choose java as their choice?
It is because of the following features
■ Simple
■ Secure
■ Portable
■ Object-oriented
■ Robust
■ Multithreaded
■ Architecture-neutral
■ Interpreted
■ High performance
■ Distributed
■ Dynamic
Each of the above mentioned words have their own significance in java, so i am not going into details of them. I will mainly concentrate on the coding part because if we understand coding part clearly theory runs to you after that.
Anyhow one thing we should know before going into the actual is about JVM(java virtual machine). This is the reason why java is so popular. So i think it is worth mentioning it here.
JVM is a kind of interpreter after comping the java source code we will get class, actually it is a java byte code which capable of executing on different platforms.
This clears why java is platform independent.
Jvm runs in jre (java runtime environment) where as another tool is jdk(java development  kit) it is a kind of code developing environment.
Now we are ready to explore Java.
Lets jump into next section.
