Study Notes
History of Java
- Developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle Corporation)
- Initially called "Oak," renamed to Java in 1994
- First publicly available in 1995
Key Features
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Java is an object-oriented language that supports encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism
- Platform Independence: Java code can run on any platform that has a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed
- Simple and Familiar Syntax: Java syntax is based on C++ and is easy to learn for developers familiar with C++
Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
- JVM: A program that runs Java bytecode on a computer
- Bytecode: Platform-independent, intermediate code generated by the Java compiler
- Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation: JVM compiles bytecode into native machine code at runtime for better performance
Java Syntax
- Variables and Data Types: Java has primitive types (e.g., int, boolean) and reference types (e.g., String, arrays)
- Operators and Control Structures: Java supports various operators (e.g., arithmetic, comparison) and control structures (e.g., if-else, loops)
- Methods and Functions: Java methods are blocks of code that can be reused; functions are not a built-in concept in Java
Java Applications
- Android Apps: Many Android apps are built using Java
- Web Applications: Java is used in web development for building enterprise-level applications
- Desktop Applications: Java is used for building desktop applications, such as NetBeans and Eclipse
Java Editions
- Java Standard Edition (SE): For developing desktop applications and applets
- Java Enterprise Edition (EE): For developing large-scale, multi-tiered, and scalable applications
- Java Micro Edition (ME): For developing applications for resource-constrained devices
