Basic overview of Java

Welcome to my blog, this time I have created a blog about Java isnt that interesting? In this blog you find all the basic information, concepts, examples, useful link etc... which will help you to master Java. I have followed a very systematic approach with my posts, anybody who follows my posts on a daily basis would not miss on any of the concepts. So lets get started...
Before diving into the Ocean of Java and getting our hands dirty with coding, lets understands what is java and its purpose.

what is Java and how it came into existence?


Where is Java used?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Java is a programming language and it is a platform. Definition seems to be very simple lets get deeper into it.
Programming language is used to write a set of instructions and later these instructions are converted to a machine code, once the computers interprets the machine code it execute these instructions and gives us the desired results.
What is a platform. A Platform provides a infrastructure for applications, so that these applications can be built and run. Platform provides a easy mode of designing applications with the existing platforms like Java.

History Of Java?

Java was originally founded by a small team of sun engineers called Green Team in 1991 and James Gosling was one among them. Green Team wanted to develop a language for digital devices such as set-top boxes, televisions etc, at the same time Internet technology also was growing very rapidly so they decided and used JAVA for internet programming.
Before naming this language they had many revision in the names(like OAK) and finally they decided with the name JAVA. Java is a small island in Indonesia which actually produced the first coffee and that's how it was named.
First Version of Java was release in 1995 and it was JDK 1.0, now the current latest version is Java SE 7

What kind of Applications can be designed using Java?


1. Web Applications

An application that runs on the server side and generates dynamic pages are web application (example-websites).

2. Standalone Applications

These are the desktop application which needs to be installed on your system for functioning (example-media player).

3. Enterprise Applications

Banking application come in this category which require secured connection, load balancing.

4. Mobile Applications

Application that are created for mobile devices.
