Introduction to JAVA Java

Programming  Released mid 1995 by Sun Microsystems, later
acquired by Oracle Corporation.
 Designed to be:
 A powerful, full-featured, pure OO development
language
 Easy to learn - syntax is similar to C++
 Platform independent
 Support development of applications for
networked environment
 Ideal for Web-based and Mobile applications

Types of Java Applications Types of Java Applications

1.Standalone Application
 Standalone applications are also known as desktop
applications or window-based applications.
 These are traditional software that we need to install on
every machine. Examples of standalone application are
Media player, antivirus, etc.
 AWT and Swing are used in Java for creating standalone
applications
2.Web Application
 An application that runs on the server side and
creates a dynamic page is called a web application.
 Currently, Servlet, JSP, Struts, Spring, Hibernate, JSF,
etc. technologies are used for creating web applications
in Java

Advantages of JAVA : Advantages of JAVA :

Rich Collection of Class Libraries Simplicity
 Hundreds of prewritten classes  Java is very easy to learn, and its syntax is simple, clean
 Provide methods to accomplish various tasks and easy to understand
 Java APIs (Application Programming Interfaces)  Java syntax is based on C++
 Improve program performance & shortens program  Java has removed many complicated and rarely-used
development time features.
Example; explicit pointers, operator overloading.
 Perform automatic memory management. Automatic
Object-oriented Garbage Collection in Java will automatically remove
 Encourages good software design unreferenced/unused objects to free up memory.
 Reduces debugging and maintenance

Advantages of JAVA :
Portability
 Programs can be written and compiled once, then run
on different platforms
• Important for internet applications (applets)
 Achieved by using:
 Bytecode
• Produced when a Java program is compiled
 Interpreter (Java Virtual Machine – JVM)
• Execution environment for bytecode on each platform
