Study Notes

Java: a programming language developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in 1995, later acquired by Oracle Corporation.
Object-oriented language: Java's syntax is similar to C/C++, but it's platform independent – Java code is compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java Virtual Machine.
History: originally named Oak, Java was renamed after an Indonesian coffee island where the first coffee beans were produced. Released in three categories: J2SE, J2EE, and J2ME.
Java's execution phases: 1) writing (programming), 2) compiling, and 3) running on a Java Virtual Machine.
Java's release categories:
- J2SE: for client-side applications
- J2EE: for server-side applications
- J2ME: for micro/mobile applications.
