    Java is an open-source, platform independent, object-oriented programming language created by James Gosling in 1995. Java programs are compiled into byte code that can run on any platform. There are different types of Java applications including web applications, mobile applications, standalone applications, and enterprise applications. Key features of Java include being object-oriented, simple, secured, portable, architecture neutral, robust, interpreted, distributed, dynamic, multi-threaded, and high-performance.

    Java Overview

    Java is an open-source, class-based, high-level, object-oriented programming language.


    Java is platform independent as the java programs are compiled into byte code that are
    platform independent.

    History:
    Java programming language was created by James Gosling in 1995. The original idea was
    to design a language for the television industry. Gosling worked along with his team also
    called the Green Team and the project they worked on was called Greentalk. This project
    was later named as OAK. The name OAK has its roots to the oak tree that stood outside
    Gosling’s office. This name had to be dropped later as it was already a trademark by Oak
    Technologies.
    So how was the name Java suggested?
    Since the language could no longer be named OAK, Gosling and his team had to come up
    with new name. The team considered various names like DNA, RUBY, JAVA, jolt,
    dynamic, revolutionary, SILK.
    But the name had to unique and quite easy to say. The name JAVA occurred in gosling’s
    mind while having a cup of coffee at his office.

    Types of Java applications:


    A. Web Application:

    Web applications are the applications that run on web browser using servlet, JSP, struts
    technologies. These technologies create java web applications and deploy them on server.
    B. Mobile Application:

    These are mobile applications created using java.


    C. Standalone Application:

    Standalone applications are executed by themselves without the need of other programs
    and files. Example of such an application is antivirus.
    D. Enterprise Application:

    Some applications are designed for corporate organizations with the intent to control major
    process in real time. Such applications are called enterprise applications.

    Features
     Object Oriented: In object oriented programming everything is an object rather
    that function and logic.
     Simple: Java is simple to understand, easy to learn and implement.
     Secured: It is possible to design secured software systems using Java.
     Platform Independent: Java is write once and run anywhere language, meaning
    once the code is written, it can be executed on any software and hardware
    systems.
     Portable: Java is not necessarily fixated to a single hardware machine. Once
    created, java code can be used on any platform.
     Architecture Neutral: Java is architecture neutral meaning the size of primitive
    type is fixed and does not vary depending upon the type of architecture.
     Robust: Java emphasizes a lot on error handling, type checking, memory
    management, etc. This makes it a robust language.
     Interpreted: Java converts high-level program statement into Assembly Level
    Language, thus making it interpreted.
     Distributed: Java lets us create distributed applications that can run on multiple
    computers simultaneously.
     Dynamic: Java is designed to adapt to ever evolving systems thus making it
    dynamic.
     Multi-thread: multi-threading is an important feature provided by java for
    creating web applications.
     High-performance: Java uses Just-In-Time compiler thus giving us a high
    performance.
