JAVA OverVIEW

Java was released in 1995 and developed by Sun Microsystems with the goal of "write once, run anywhere." It is an object-oriented language that compiles code into platform-independent byte code, making applications portable across operating systems. Key features include automatic memory management through garbage collection, a focus on compile-time rather than runtime errors, and high performance through just-in-time compilation to native machine code.

FIRST STEPS IN JAVA

OVERVIEW
Overview

 Java was released in 1995


 It was developed by Sun Microsystem
 „Write once, run anywhere”
 The latest release of the Java Standard Edition is Java SE 8
Overview

1.) Java is object oriented


Huge softwares can be constructed with Java
~ everything is an object in Java

2.) Platform independent


The source code is not compiled into platform
dependent code  it is compiled into byte code

Byte code  it is interpreted by the JVM


~ the platform does not matter

3.) Easy to learn  we don’t have to deal with pointers like


in C or C++

+ garbage collector: handles references


Overview

4.) Portable
Because it is architecture- and machine-independent
Compiler written in ANSI C

5.) Robust
Java focuses on compile time errors instead of
runtime ones

6.) Interpreted
The source code  translated into byte code
Byte code is translated on the fly to native machine code
and instructions
Overview

7.) Distributed
Java was designed for distributed environment of the internet
~ it is quite important in the 21th century
For example: big data, cloud

8.) High performance


Java uses JIT „Just In Time compilers” so it is quite fast
