Study Notes

Java Programming Language Overview

Developed by Sun Microsystems in 1995.
First publicly available version released in 1996.
Key feature includes platform independence, allowing programs to run on any operating system.

Purpose and Components

Purpose of Java is to provide a portable, secure, and efficient programming language for developing applications.
JVM (Java Virtual Machine) executes Java bytecode on any machine, simulating a real computer environment.
JRE (Java Runtime Environment) provides the libraries and components necessary for running Java applications.
JDK (Java Development Kit) includes tools for developing, building, and executing Java programs, including the compiler.

Advantages and Features

Offers portability, enabling compiled Java files to run on any OS.
Known as the "King of programming languages" due to its versatility across various fields, including web, mobile, and enterprise applications.
Contains tools for converting source code to machine-understandable bytecode for execution.

Structure and Functionality

JRE does not include development tools like the compiler; it’s focused on running applications.
Java follows the principle of "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA), ensuring cross-platform functionality.
Emphasizes object-oriented programming, focusing on objects and classes for enhanced code reusability and organization.
Java is not considered purely object-oriented due to the use of primitive data types.

Simplicity, Security, and Performance

Java’s syntax and libraries make it simple and efficient for developers to learn and use.
Considered secure due to its runtime environment that includes a security manager and bytecode verification.
Highly portable due to the JVM allowing consistent execution across platforms.
Robust language with built-in error handling and garbage collection to manage memory efficiently.
Achieves high performance through Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation and efficient memory management.

Concurrency and Project Domains

Supports multithreading, allowing programs to perform multiple tasks simultaneously.
Applicable in diverse domains such as web development, mobile applications, big data, computer games, and enterprise solutions.
