Java Introduction and Features

Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language that is platform independent and can run on a variety of systems including Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX. It has many advantages such as being simple to learn, secure, robust, portable, and able to develop multithreaded and distributed applications. Popular editors for writing Java programs include simple text editors like Notepad as well as integrated development environments like NetBeans and Eclipse.

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 tutorial gives a complete understanding of Java. This
reference will take you through simple and practical approaches while learning Java
Programming language.

Why to Learn java Programming?


Java is a MUST for students and working professionals to become a great Software Engineer
specially when they are working in Software Development Domain. I will list down some of
the key advantages of learning Java Programming:

• 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.
• Secure − With Java's secure feature it enables to develop virus-free, tamper-free systems.
Authentication techniques are based on public-key encryption.
• 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.
• 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 developers 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.
• 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 run-time.
Popular Java Editors
To write your Java programs, you will need a text editor. There are even more sophisticated
IDEs available in the market. But for now, you can consider one of the following −

• Notepad − On Windows machine, you can use any simple text editor like Notepad
• Netbeans − A Java IDE that is open-source and free which can be downloaded from
https://www.netbeans.org/index.html.
• Eclipse − A Java IDE developed by the eclipse open-source community and can be
downloaded from https://www.eclipse.org/.
