WHAT IS JAVA?

HISTORY OF JAVA?

Java- what , where and why.

Java technology is wide used currently. Let’s start learning of java from basic questions like what is java, where it is used, what type of application
are created in java and why use java.

What is Java?

Java is a programming language and a platform.

Platform any hardware of software environment in which a program runs, known as a platform. Since java has its own Runtime Environment
(JRE) and API, it is called platform.

Where it is used?

There are many devices where java is currently used. Some of them are as follows:

1. Desktop Application such as acrobat reader, media player, antivirus etc.

2. Web Application such as irctc.co.in.
3. Enterprise Application such as banking application.
4. Mobile
5. Embedded System.
6. Smart Card
7. Robotics
8. Games etc.

Types of Java Application:

There are mainly 4 type of applications that can be created using java:

1 Standalone Application  it is also known as desktop application or window-based application. An application that we need to install on every
machine such as media player, antivirus etc. AWT andSwing are used in java for creating standalone application

2. Web Application  An application that runs on the server side and creates dynamic page. Is called web application.

Currently, servlet, jsp, struts, jsf etc. technology are used for creating web application in java.

3. Enterprise Application  An application that is distributed in nature, such as banking application etc. it has the advantage of high level
security, load balancing and clustering. In java, EJB is used for creating enterprise application.

4. Mobile Application  An application that is created for mobile devices. Currently Android and Java ME are used for creating mobile
application.

History of JAVA:-

Let’s see some points that describes the history of java.

 James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the java language project in June 1991.
 Originally designed for small, embedded system in electronic appliances like set – top boxes
 Initially called Oak and was developed as part of the Green project
 In 1995, Oak was renamed as “JAVA”. Java is just name not an acronym.
 Originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems(which in now a subsidiary if oracle Corporation) and released in 1995.
 JDK 1.0 released in (January 23, 1996)

Java Version History:

There are many java versions that has been released.

1. JDK Alpha and Beta (1995)

2. JDK 1.0(23rd Jan, 1996)
3. JDK 1.1(19th Feb, 1997)
4. J2SE 1.2(8th Dec, 1998)
5. J2SE 1.3(8th May, 2000)
6. J2SE 1.4 (6th Feb, 2002)
7. J2SE 5.0(30th Sep, 2004)
8. Java SE 6 (11th Dec, 2006)
9. Java SE 7 (28th July, 2011)
10. Java SE 8 March 2014.
11. Java SE 9  At JavaOne 2011, Oracle discussed features they hope to have in a 2016 release of Java 9.

Java Development Kit (JDK)

The “JDK” is the java Development Kit. i.e. , the JDK is bundle of software that you can use to develop java based software.

Each JDK contains one (or more) JRE’s along with the various development tools like the java source compilers, bundling and development tools,
debuggers, development libraries, etc.

Java Run time Environment(JRE)

The java Runtime Environment (JRE) provides the libraries, the java virtual machine, and other components to run applets and applications
written in the java programming language.

Java Virtual Machine(JVM)

The Java Virtual Machine is responsible for the hardware and operating system independence of the java SE platform, the small size of compiled
code (bytecode), and platform security.

 A java compiler compiles source files (.java) to bytecode files (.class). Sun gives developers a free java compiler which is invoked with
the ‘javac’ command.
 A java interpreter is usually referred to as the Java Virtual Machine (or JVM). It reads and executes the bytecodes in the .class files (or

.
in some collection of class files, like a zipor .jar file). Sun also supplies a free version of the JVM which is invoked with the ‘java’
command.

 Where is gets confusing is when people talk about a Just-In-Time compiler (or JIT compiler). This is actually part of a JVM. Its purpose
is to take the generic (i.e. cross-platform) bytecodes and compile them into more machine-specific instructions (allowing the program

.
to run significantly faster). Even though it is referred to as a JIT ‘compiler’, it is part of the Virtual Machine
