Introduction
Object-Oriented Programming
When you program without using OOP (Object-
Oriented Programming), you are programming
procedurally. A procedural program is a step-
by-step program that guides the application
through sequence of instructions.
A procedural/structured program executes
each statement in the literal order of its
commands, even if those commands cause the
program to branch into all directions. C, Pascal,
QBasic and COBOL are all examples of
procedural programming languages

What is Java?
Java is two things: a programming language
and a platform.
The Java programming language was
developed by SUN (Stanford University
Network) Microsystems as an object-oriented
language that is used both for general-
purpose business programs and interactive
World Wide Web-based internet programs.
Some of the advantages that made Java
programming language so popular in recent
years are its security features, and the fact
that it is architecturally neutral, which means
that you can use Java to write program that
will run on any platform.
Java is a high-level
programming language that is

Java is also unusual in that each Java
program is both compiled and
interpreted. With a compiler, you

intermediate language called Java
bytecodes or simply bytecode--the
platform-independent codes
interpreted by the Java interpreter.
With an interpreter, each Java
bytecode instruction is parsed and
run on the computer. Compilation
happens just once; interpretation
occurs each time the program is
executed. This figure illustrates how

whether it's a Java development tool or a
Web browser that can run Java applets, is an
implementation of the Java VM. The Java VM
can also be implemented in hardware.
A platform is the hardware or software
environment in which a program runs. The
Java platform differs from most other
platforms in that it's a software-only platform
that runs on top of other, hardware-based
platforms. Most other platforms are
described as a combination of hardware and

As a platform-independent environment,
Java can be a bit slower than native code.
However, smart compilers, well-tuned
interpreters, and just-in-time bytecode
compilers can bring Java's performance close
to that of native code without threatening
portability
What Can Java Do?
Probably the most well-known Java
programs are Java applets. An applet is a
Java program that adheres to certain
conventions that allow it to run within a
Java-enabled browser. This you will be
learning as we go through each lessons.
The most common types of programs in
java are probably applets and applications,
where a Java application is a standalone
program that runs directly on the Java
platform.
