This document provides an introduction to Java programming concepts including:
- Java is both a programming language and platform that is simple, architecture neutral, object-oriented, and portable.
- Java source code is written in .java files and compiled into .class files by javac before being executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
- The JVM allows Java programs to run on any platform without recompilation, providing platform independence.
- Key Java concepts covered include objects, classes, methods, variables, data types, operators, control flow, and arrays.
- Examples demonstrate how to write, compile, and run simple Java programs to illustrate these core programming concepts.
