This document provides an introduction to Java technology, including its history and development. It discusses: - Java was created in 1995 by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and was influenced by C and C++. - Java has evolved over time, with major releases in 1998 (Java 2) and 2006 (Java SE, EE, ME). - Java remains very popular for enterprise applications and mobile development via Android. - It demonstrates Java tools like the JDK, NetBeans IDE, and Notepad++ text editor for compiling and running basic Java programs.

Intro to Java Technology
- 1. Java Technology Jussi Pohjolainen Tampere University of Applied Sciences
- 3. Introduction to Java • Java is a programming language developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems • Released in 1995 • Syntax derived from C and C++
- 4. History • Java 1.0 in 1995 • Initial Success: – Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA) – Web Browsers incorporated the ability to run small Java – programs called Applets • Java 2 was introduced in 1998, divided into three categories: – Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) – Java2 Standard Edition (J2SE) – Java2 Micro Edition (J2ME)
- 5. Today • In 2006 Sun renamed Java 2 versions – Java EE – Java SE – Java ME • Java versioning: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 (which is the current) • Most popular programming language! – http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperin fo/tpci/index.html
- 6. Java on Desktop: SwingSet demo
- 7. Java on Mobile: Opera Mini
- 8. Java on Server: Etuovi.com
- 9. Java's Future? • Very few Java desktop apps – Sluggish performance? – Why use Java when you have Qt? • Popular on the enterprise and mobile side – Mobile programming is under heavy turbulence at the moment: • Nokia's Qt (C++) • Apple's iPhone (Objective-C) • Google's Android (Java) • Sun Microsystem's financial trouble, Oracle bought Sun in April 2009!
- 12. JAVA TOOLS
- 13. Java Tools • Three platforms: Java SE, Java ME, Java EE • Java SE is used for desktop apps: – Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) • For running Java apps – Java SE Development Kit (JDK) • For developing and running Java Apps • Includes JRE!
- 14. NetBeans Bundle • The JDK comes with only the necessary tools to compile and run apps • The JDK with NetBeans bundle is a IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that has all the tools to create Java SE apps
- 15. NetBeans on Mac OS X
- 16. Using Text Editor and JDK • NetBeans is very powerful tool for creating Java Apps • If you are about to start learning programming, I do not recommend NetBeans, use plain text editor and JDK instead! – NetBeans does a lot work in the background – NetBeans can be sluggish on older computers – NetBeans can be confusing for junior programmers
- 17. Basic JDK Commands (Command Prompt) • javac – Java Compiler – javac MyProgram.java • java – Running Java Apps – java MyProgram • That's it!
- 19. NotePad++ • Free text editor indented for programming (Windows) • Change settings / preferences – New Document: Format: Unix / Windows • Depending on your configuration – New Document: Encoding: ISO-8859-1 – New Document: Default Language: Java – Document: Tab Size 4, [x] Replace by Space
- 20. Exercise • Download and configure Notepad++ • Download Java SE 6 • Read ... – http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStart ed/cupojava/win32.html • ... and Compile and run "HelloWorld"- application
