    JAVA PROGRAMMING

    - JAVA was developed by James Gosling at Sun


    Microsystems Inc in the year 1995, later acquired by Oracle
    Corporation. It is a simple programming language. Java makes
    writing, compiling, and debugging programming easy. It helps
    to create reusable code and modular programs. Java is a
    class-based, object-oriented programming language and is
    designed to have as few implementation dependencies as
    possible. A general-purpose programming language made for
    developers to write once run anywhere that is compiled Java
    code can run on all platforms that support Java. Java
    applications are compiled to byte code that can run on any
    Java Virtual Machine. The syntax of Java is similar to c/c++.
    A BIT OF HISTORY
    - Java is related to C++, which is a direct descendant of C. Much
    of the character of Java is inherited from these two languages.
    From C, Java derives its syntax. Many of Java’s object-
    oriented features were influenced by C++.
    - Java was conceived by James Gosling, Patrick Naughton,
    Chris Warth, Ed Frank, and Mike Sheridan at Sun
    Microsystems, Inc. in 1991. It took 18 months to develop the
    first working version. This language was initially called “Oak,”
    but was renamed “Java” in 1995.
    - The principles for creating java were simple, robust, secured,
    high performance, portable, multi-threaded, interpreted,
    dynamic, etc. In 1995 Java was developed by James Gosling,
    who is known as the Father of Java. Currently, Java is used in
    mobile devices, internet programming, games, e-business, etc.
    JAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
    IS NAMED JAVA. WHY?

    After the name OAK, the team decided to give a new name to it
    and the suggested words were Silk, Jolt, revolutionary, DNA,
    dynamic, etc. These all names were easy to spell and fun to say,
    but they all wanted the name to reflect the essence of technology.
    In accordance with James Gosling, Java the among the top
    names along with Silk, and since java was a unique name so
    most of them preferred it.
    Java is the name of an island in Indonesia where the first
    coffee(named java coffee) was produced. And this name was
    chosen by James Gosling while having coffee near his office.
    Note that Java is just a name, not an acronym.

    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    ENVIRONMENT
    Java is a recently developed, concurrent, class-based,
    object-oriented programming and runtime
    environment, consisting of:
    - A programming language
    - An API specification
    - A virtual machine specification
    HOW JAVA WORKS
    • Java's platform independence is achieved by
    the use of the Java Virtual Machine
    • A Java program consists of one or more files
    with a .java extension
    • When a Java program is compiled the .java
    files are fed to a compiler which produces a
    .class file for each .java file
    • The .class file contains Java bytecode.
    • Bytecode is like machine language, but it is
    intended for the Java Virtual Machine not a
    specific chip such as a Pentium or PowerPC
    chip
    CREATING, COMPILING, AND
    RUNNING PROGRAMS
    COMPILING JAVA
    SOURCE CODE
    You can port a source program to any machine
    with appropriate compilers. The source program must
    be recompiled, however, because the object program
    can only run on a specific machine. Nowadays
    computers are networked to work together. Java was
    designed to run object programs on any platform. With
    Java, you write the program once, and compile the
    source program into a special type of object code,
    known as bytecode. The bytecode can then run on any
    computer with a Java Virtual Machine, as shown
    below. Java Virtual Machine is a software that
    interprets Java bytecode.
