What is Java

Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language created by James Gosling in 1995, originally intended for the television industry. It is platform-independent, secure, and features a simple syntax, making it popular for developing web, mobile, and desktop applications. The name 'Java' was inspired by coffee, as the team sought a unique and easy-to-pronounce name after the original name 'OAK' was trademarked.
