8. WHAT IS JAVA
• Java is a high-level programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems
and released in 1995.
• Java runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions
of UNIX.
• This course gives a complete understanding of Java.
• This reference will take you through simple and practical approaches while learning
Java Programming language. 8

9. OVERVIEW OF JAVA
• The latest release of the Java Standard Edition is Java SE 8.
• With the advancement of Java and its widespread popularity, multiple configurations
were built to suit various types of platforms.
• For example: J2EE for Enterprise Applications, J2ME for Mobile Applications.
• The new J2 versions were renamed as Java SE, Java EE, and Java ME respectively.
• Java is guaranteed to be Write Once, Run Anywhere.

10. HISTORY OF JAVA
• James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the Java language
project in June 1991. The small team of sun engineers called Green Team.
• 2) Originally designed for small, embedded systems in electronic appliances like set-
top boxes.
• 3) Firstly, it was called "Greentalk" by James Gosling, and file extension was .gt.
• 4) After that, it was called Oak and was developed as a part of the Green project.
10

11. WHY JAVA NAMED OAK?
• Why Oak? Oak is a symbol of strength and chosen as a national tree of many
countries like U.S.A., France, Germany, Romania, etc.
• In 1995, Oak was renamed as "Java" because it was already a trademark by Oak
Technologies.
11

12. WHY JAVA PROGRAMMING NAMED "JAVA"?
• Why had they chosen java name for java language? The team gathered to choose a
new name. The suggested words were "dynamic", "revolutionary", "Silk", "jolt", "DNA",
etc. They wanted something that reflected the essence of the technology:
revolutionary, dynamic, lively, cool, unique, and easy to spell and fun to say.
• According to James Gosling, "Java was one of the top choices along with Silk". Since
Java was so unique, most of the team members preferred Java than other names.
• Java is an island of Indonesia where first coffee was produced (called java coffee).
• Notice that Java is just a name, not an acronym.
• Initially developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary
Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995.
• In 1995, Time magazine called Java one of the Ten Best Products of 1995.
• JDK 1.0 released in(January 23, 1996).

14. FEATURES OF JAVA
14

15. JAVA IS:
• Object Oriented − In Java, everything is an Object. Java can be easily extended since
it is based on the Object model.
• Platform Independent − Unlike many other programming languages including C and
C++, when Java is compiled, it is not compiled into platform specific machine, rather
into platform independent byte code. This byte code is distributed over the web and
interpreted by the Virtual Machine (JVM) on whichever platform it is being run on.
• Simple − Java is designed to be easy to learn. If you understand the basic concept of
OOP Java, it would be easy to master.

16. JAVA IS:
• Architecture-neutral − Java compiler generates an architecture-neutral object file
format, which makes the compiled code executable on many processors, with the
presence of Java runtime system.
• Portable − Being architecture-neutral and having no implementation dependent
aspects of the specification makes Java portable. Compiler in Java is written in ANSI C
with a clean portability boundary, which is a POSIX subset.
16

17. JAVA IS:
• Robust − Java makes an effort to eliminate error prone situations by emphasizing
mainly on compile time error checking and runtime checking.
• Multithreaded − With Java's multithreaded feature it is possible to write programs
that can perform many tasks simultaneously. This design feature allows the
to construct interactive applications that can run smoothly.
• Interpreted − Java byte code is translated on the fly to native machine instructions
and is not stored anywhere. The development process is more rapid and analytical
since the linking is an incremental and light-weight process.
17

18. JAVA IS:
• High Performance − With the use of Just-In-Time compilers, Java enables high
performance.
• Distributed − Java is designed for the distributed environment of the internet.
• Dynamic − Java is considered to be more dynamic than C or C++ since it is designed
to adapt to an evolving environment. Java programs can carry extensive amount of
run-time information that can be used to verify and resolve accesses to objects on
time.
18

19. JAVA IS:
• Secure − With Java's secure feature it enables to develop virus-free, tamper-free
systems. Authentication techniques are based on public-key encryption.
19

20. C++ VS JAVA
• C++ is platform-dependent.
• C++ is mainly used for system programming.
• C++ supports operator overloading.
• C++ supports pointers. You can write pointer
program in C++.
• C++ is nearer to hardware.
• Java is platform-independent.
• Java is mainly used for application
programming. It is widely used in window,
web-based, enterprise and mobile
applications.
• Java doesn't support operator overloading.
• Java supports pointer internally. However,
you can't write the pointer program in java. It
means java has restricted pointer support in
java.
• Java is not so interactive with hardware.
20

21. CREATING HELLO WORLD EXAMPLE
• class Simple{
• public static void main(String args[]){
• System.out.println(“Once In a LiFeTime");
• }
• }
• Compilation Flow:
• When we compile Java program using javac tool, java compiler converts the source
code into byte code.
21

22. PARAMETERS USED IN FIRST JAVA PROGRAM
• class keyword is used to declare a class in java.
• public keyword is an access modifier which represents visibility. It means it is visible to
all.
• static is a keyword. If we declare any method as static, it is known as the static
method. The core advantage of the static method is that there is no need to create
object to invoke the static method. The main method is executed by the JVM, so it
doesn't require to create an object to invoke the main method. So it saves memory.
• void is the return type of the method. It means it doesn't return any value.
• main represents the starting point of the program.
• String[] args is used for command line argument. We will learn it later.
• System.out.println() is used to print statement. Here, System is a class, out is the
object of PrintStream class, println() is the method of PrintStream class. We will learn
about the internal working of System.out.println statement later.

23. JAVA ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS
JDK, JRE, AND JVM
• JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is an abstract machine. It is called a virtual machine because
it doesn't physically exist. It is a specification that provides a runtime environment in
which Java bytecode can be executed. It can also run those programs which are written
in other languages and compiled to Java bytecode.
• JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms. JVM, JRE, and JDK are
platform dependent because the configuration of each OSis different from each other.
However, Java is platform independent. There are three notions of the
JVM: specification, implementation, and instance.
• The JVM performs the following main tasks:
• Loads code
• Verifies code
• Executes code
• Provides runtime environment 23

24. JAVA ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS
JDK, JRE, AND JVM
• JRE is an acronym for Java Runtime Environment. It is also written as Java RTE. The Java
Runtime Environment is a set of software tools which are used for developing Java
applications. It is used to provide the runtime environment. It is the implementation of
JVM. It physically exists. It contains a set of libraries + other files that JVM uses at
runtime.
24

25. JAVA ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS
JDK, JRE, AND JVM
• JDK is an acronym for Java Development Kit. The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a
software development environment which is used to develop Java applications
and applets. It physically exists. It contains JRE + development tools.
