What is Java?

Java is a programming language and a platform. Java is a high level, robust, object-oriented and
secure programming language.

Java was developed by Sun Microsystems (which is now the subsidiary of Oracle) in the year
1995. James Gosling is known as the father of Java. Before Java, its name was Oak. Since Oak was
already a registered company, so James Gosling and his team changed the name from Oak to Java.

Getting Started

Before diving into coding, we will need to set up your development environment. Java development
typically requires the Java Development Kit (JDK), which includes the Java compiler and other
essential tools. You can download the JDK from the official Oracle website and follow the installation
instructions for your operating system.

Once we have the JDK installed, you can use a text editor or an Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) like IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, or NetBeans to write and run your Java code. IDEs provide features
such as code completion, debugging, and project management, making them invaluable tools for
developers.

Platform: Any hardware or software environment in which a program runs, is known as a platform.
Since Java has a runtime environment (JRE) and API, it is called a platform.
