It is an object-oriented
programming language that is platform independent it is the #1 programming languages
from years. It was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun
Microsystems in the year 1995, It was initially called as “oak” which is named
after oak tree which stood outside Goslings office later it went by the name
called Green hence it was named as JAVA. It follows a principle called “WORA”
which means Write Once, Run Anywhere. The primary goals of java are “simple, object oriented, robust, secure
and high performance”. In 1998 Java’s speed
of execution was increased with the use of Just-in-compilation. The design goal of Java is its portability
which can run on any platforms without any changes. In 2006 Java was released
as free and open source software.
Java is widely used on the Web
for both client and server processing. It is used to develop several applications for the systems as well as
embedded devices like mobile, laptops, tablets and many more. The main feature is that is uses stack allocation for data
storing and using. It is a great language for beginners to start
out with, and language of choice for developing applications. Java uses “Garbage collector” to manage memory. The first Web browsers to run Java were Sun's
HotJava and Netscape Navigator 2.0. The programs written in java are very small
because it already contains built in library functions and hence consumes less
memory space. Java is used in many
real world applications like android apps which is an open source and offers
better performance. It is also Used for developing games such as Dr.Pacman, Animal circus etc. It is also used in
desktop applications like Eclipse, net beans etc for programmers. Java are used for storages such as in Hadoop,
Bigdata. It is a default choice in scientific applications. Java is also big on E commerce and web
application space. It is capable of
providing High Performance Computing. Java is used
as server side applications without using any front end which receives data
from one server and processes it to other server. E.g. Networking and browsing sites
like opera mini, Mail from Google are one of the popular applications developed
using java.
It is important for information technology industry to
develop and create multiple web-based or server based applications to enhance
the industrial competency. In industries java applications are maintained from
desktops through intranet or internet and are limited to remote monitoring. Java is the language of business
applications, used at basically every single financial services institution for
back end systems, portals, trading systems, market engines, online banking,
etc. It's the primary language of development for telco systems, ecommerce
(eBay, Amazon, etc.), insurance applications, etc.
JAVA programming enables secure and high performance software development on
multiple platforms. Many companies in India have well-qualified software
engineers having expertise in Java.
