Overview

Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlying computer architecture. The syntax of Java is similar to C and C++, but has fewer low-level facilities than either of them. The Java runtime provides dynamic capabilities (such as reflection and runtime code modification) that are typically not available in traditional compiled languages.It is owned by Oracle, and more than 3 billion devices run Java.It is used for:Mobile applications (specially Android apps)Desktop applicationsWeb applicationsWeb servers and application serversGamesDatabase connectionAnd much, much more!Why Use Java?Java works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc.)It is one of the most popular programming language in the worldIt has a large demand in the current job marketIt is easy to learn and simple to useIt is open-source and freeIt is secure, fast and powerfulIt has a huge community support (tens of millions of developers)Java is an object oriented language which gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costsAs Java is close to C++ and C#, it makes it easy for programmers to switch to Java or vice versa
