Developed by Sun Microsystems, Java is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. It's class-based, concurrent and object-oriented. Java was originally created for developing programs for handheld devices and set-top boxes but became a favorable choice for client-server web applications. This programming language can run on all platforms that support Java. Its syntax is somewhat similar to C++, but stricter in that functions and variables must be clearly defined. Its programs contain classes that are used to define methods and objects. Java is designed to allow developers to write once and run anywhere (WORA). Its applications are compiled in bytecode and run on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Java can be used in frontend development as an applet and to power backend technologies like JBoss and Apache. This programming language can be found in game consoles and mobile apps, as well as on the Android platform.
