JAVA

Introduction to Java:

Java is a high-level programming language and computing platform that runs on more than 850 million personal computers worldwide, and on billions of devices worldwide, including mobile and TV devices. It is the underlying technology that powers state-of-the-art programs including utilities, games, and business applications.

Java technology is an object-oriented, platform-independent, multithreaded programming environment. Whether developing applications for consumers or mission-critical deployments, you can depend on a consistent programming environment.

Benefits of Java:

Simple - Java has thrown out many of the complex features of C++ and C resulting in a simpler language (no pointers, no unions, no enumerations)

Object-oriented - Java is a single-root, single-inheritance object oriented language

Multithreaded - Java has a built-in support for multithreading

Distributed - Using Java RMI (remote method invocation) you can access objects on other machines almost as if they were local

Portable - Programs written in the Java language are platform independent
