Students should be able to:
identify the application areas of Java
compare different types of programming languages and their
compilation processes
understand the compilation process in Java
understand the structure of a Java program and know the
basic rules that need to be followed to write a program in Java
identify the building blocks (tokens) in a Java program and
use them appropriately in a program
declare variables and constants appropriately using the
concept of Data types
identify the purpose of constants
identify the purpose of comments and its usefulness in
documenting programs
create simple Java programs, compile them and execute the
code

Write Once Run Anywhere
◦ Java programs written for one platform can run on
different platforms without any changes made to it.
It is said to be Platform Independent
Light Weight Code
◦ Big and useful applications can be created with very
light code.
Security
◦ Java offers many security features that makes its
programs safe and secure
Object Oriented Programming Language
◦ It supports Object Orientation concepts, thereby
very near to real world.
Built-in Graphics
◦ Java offers many built-in graphic features that can
be used to make Java application more visual
Supports Multimedia
◦ Java is ideally suited for integration of video, audio,
animation and graphics in Internet environment

A Java Program (source code) is compiled by
the Java Compiler into Java Byte Code. It is the
intermediate code.
The byte code is the same on every platform.
Hence it is also known as the portable code.
The byte code is then interpreted by a special
Java interpreter for a specific platform, that
translates it to the native code of the host
machine and executes.
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a platform
specific interpreter for the byte code.
JVM translates the byte code into the native
language of the host machine and executes.
Java is said to be portable as it allows
programmers to write code that could run on
any platform without the need for rewriting or
recompilation for each separate platform.
The byte code and the JVM make this possible.
The Java virtual machine (JVM) interprets
compiled Java bytecode for a computer's
processor (or "hardware platform") and translates
into the native code and executes it.
Java requires an editor to create the source program. The
program written using the editor has to have the same name
as that of the defined class within the program.
All programs written in Java must have the extension “java”.
The execution of the Java application program is made
through the combination of compilation and interpretation.
The Java compiler is a file called javac. After compilation, a
file with the secondary name class is created. This is called
as the Byte Code.
The Java interpreter is a file called java. It interprets the class
file and executes it.
Stand alone applications
Are programs that can run on any platform
independently without requiring any software.
Includes customized software applications or
generalized software applications like word
processors, spreadsheets etc., that can run on any
platform like Windows, Linux or Mac OS

A lightweight programming language is one
that is designed to have very small memory
footprint, is easy to implement (important
when porting a language), and/or has
minimalist syntax and features.
Java compiler converts the Java code into byte
code (.class file) and these byte codes are
then run by Java Virtual Machine (JVM) . JVM is
an interpreter which is installed in each client
machine that is updated with latest security
updates by internet . When this byte codes
are executed , the JVM can take care of the
security. So, java is said to be more secure
than other programming languages.

◦ Java 2D
◦ Java 3D
◦ Java Sound
◦ Java Speech

BlueJ is basically an IDE (Integrated
Development Environment) for Java.
It allows the user to edit, compile, interpret
and debug the Java Programs.
