Introduction to Java programming language
In 1995, James Gosling founded Sun Microsystems Inc, which was later acquired by Oracle Corporation. It’s a straightforward programming language. Java makes programming easy to write, compile, and debug. It aids in the development of reusable code and modular programs.
Java is a class-based, object-oriented programming language with a focus on minimizing implementation dependencies.
A compiled general-purpose programming language designed for developers to write once and run anywhere(WORA). All platforms that support Java can run Java code.
Java programs are compiled into byte code that can be run on any Java Virtual Machine. Java’s syntax is similar to that of C/C++.
Because it has a runtime environment (JRE) and API, Java is a platform-independent language. A platform, in this context, refers to the hardware or software environment in which an application runs.
Java programs are compiled into byte code, which is machine-independent. The JVM is used to execute this byte code (Java Virtual Machine).
JAVA is the name of the Java programming language. Why?
The team decided to rename it after OAK and suggested words included Silk, Jolt, revolutionary, DNA, dynamic, and others. These names were all simple to pronounce and spell, but they all wanted to capture the essence of technology. According to James Gosling, Java was one of the top names, along with Silk, and because it was a unique name, most people preferred it.
Java is the name of an Indonesian island where the first coffee (also known as Java coffee) was grown. And while having coffee near his office, James Gosling came up with this name. It’s worth noting that Java is merely a name, not an acronym.
