**1. Introduction to Java:**

- Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language.

- Developed by James Gosling and released by Sun Microsystems in 1995.

- Known for its "write once, run anywhere" principle.

**2. Why Java?**

- Platform Independence: Java code can run on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

- Strong Community: A vast and active Java developer community.

- Versatility: Used in web development, mobile app development (Android), enterprise software, and
more.

**3. Setting up Java Environment:**

- Install Java Development Kit (JDK): Download and install JDK from Oracle or OpenJDK.

- Integrated Development Environments (IDEs): Options like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and NetBeans.

- Text Editors: Java code can also be written in text editors and compiled via the command line.

**4. Basic Java Syntax:**

- Java is case-sensitive.
- Code is organized into classes.

- Use semicolons (;) to terminate statements.

**5. Variables and Data Types:**

- Variables store data, and data types define the type of data a variable can hold.

- Common data types include int, float, double, char, boolean, etc.

- Variables must be declared before use.

- Example:

```java

int age = 30;

double salary = 1500.50;

```

**6. Control Structures:**

- Conditional Statements: `if`, `else if`, `else`, `switch`.

- Loops: `for`, `while`, `do-while`.

- Example:

```java

if (age < 18) {

System.out.println("Minor");

} else {

System.out.println("Adult");

```

**7. Functions (Methods):**

- Functions in Java are called methods.

- Methods are blocks of code that perform specific tasks.

- Java has built-in methods, and you can create your own.

- Example:

```java

public void greet(String name) {


System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "!");

```

**8. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java:**

- Java is an OOP language.

- Key OOP concepts: Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Encapsulation, and Abstraction.

- Classes define object blueprints, and objects are instances of classes.

- Example:

```java

class Person {

String name;

int age;

```

**9. Java Libraries and Packages:**

- Java Standard Library: Provides core functionality (e.g., java.util, java.io).

- Import packages using the `import` statement.

- Example:

```java

import java.util.ArrayList;

```

**10. Resources for Learning Java:**

- Java Official Documentation (docs.oracle.com/javase)

- Online tutorials and courses (e.g., Codecademy, Coursera, edX)

- Java developer forums (e.g., Stack Overflow, Oracle Community)

- Books: "Java: The Complete Reference" by Herbert Schildt, "Effective Java" by Joshua Bloch.

**Conclusion:**

- Java is a versatile and platform-independent programming language.


- Setting up the Java environment involves installing the JDK and choosing an IDE.

- Understanding basic syntax, data types, control structures, and OOP principles is fundamental.

- A wealth of resources is available for further learning and development in Java.
