Software Programming Language - Java

Java is a programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems. Most of its syntax are derived from C and C++ languages. But unlike C++, it doesn't tend to go in too low level programming. Java applications are basically compiled into a special format called Bytecode which has the capabilty of running on any Java Virtual Machine(JVM) which is a layer above the real machine. Hence it makes Java program independent of the machine. Thus, a java program is in most of the cases, is not machine dependent.

Java has caused more changes than any other programming language on the Internet. It seems Java has became a buzzword in all type of applications, be it Desktop programming, Web Programming or Mobile application porgramming. Unfortunately very few people seem to know anything about it. This and the further blogs are designed to change that. People are excited about Java because of what it lets them do. Java has opened up a world of great possibilities to the Software industry. Java was the first to include inline sound and animation in a web page. Java also lets users interact with a web page. Instead of just reading it and perhaps filling out a form, users can now play games, calculate spreadsheets, chat in realtime, get continuously updated data and much, much more. Here are just a few of the many things Java can do for a web page: Inline sounds that play in realtime whenever a user loads a page Music that plays in the background on a page Cartoon style animations Realtime video Multiplayer interactive games
