 What is Java
• Java is a object oriented programming language and a platform. Java is a high
level, robust, and secure programming language.
• Platform: Any hardware or software environment in which a program runs, is
known as a platform. Since Java has a runtime environment (JRE) and API, it is
called a platform.
• It is one of the most popular programming languages used to develop this four
important applications
I. Standalone applications: AWT and Swing
II. Web applications: CGI,Servlet, JSP, Struts, Spring, Hibernate(Web
Technologies)
III. Enterprise applications :Java,J2EE,EJB
IV. Mobile applications: Android and Java ME
V. Distributed Applications: RMI, EJB, Web services
 Java Platforms / Editions

1. Java SE (Java Standard Edition) (Core Java)

2. Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) (Advance Java)
3. Java ME (Java Micro Edition)
 History of Java
• Java was developed by James Gosling, who is known as the father of Java, in
1995. James Gosling and his team members started the project in the early '90s.
• James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the Java language
project in June 1991. The small team of sun engineers called Green Team.
• Initially it was designed for small, embedded systems in electronic appliances like
set-top boxes.
• After that, it was called Oak and was developed as a part of the Green project.
• Why Oak? Oak is a symbol of strength and chosen as a national tree of many
countries like the U.S.A., France, Germany, Romania, etc.
• In 1995, Oak was renamed as "Java" because it was already a trademark by Oak
Technologies.
• Java is an island in Indonesia where the first coffee was produced (called Java
coffee). Java name was chosen by James Gosling while having a cup of coffee
nearby his office.

 Features of Java
• The primary objective of Java programming language creation was to make it
portable, simple and secure programming language. Apart from this, there are
also some excellent features which play an important role in the popularity of
this language. The features of Java are also known as Java buzzwords.
• A list of the most important features of the Java language is given below.
1.Simple 7.Architecture neutral
2.Object-Oriented 8.Compiled and Interpreted
3.Portable 9.High Performance
4.Platform independent 10.Multithreaded

Importance of Java
 Limitations of Java

• Java is slow and has a poor performance. Java is memory-consuming

and significantly slower than native languages such as C or C++.
• Java provides not so attractive look and feels of the GUI.
• Java provides no backup facility.
• Performance
• Memory
• Cost
