Java Language and Platform Fundamentals

Core concepts of the Java language, its object‑oriented nature, platform independence, robustness, and scalability.

Java Language and Platform Fundamentals

Java is a high‑level, object‑oriented language created by Sun Microsystems in 1995. Its design goals include portability, robustness, and scalability.

Key Features

  • Object‑Oriented: Everything is an object, promoting modularity and reuse.
  • Platform‑Independent: Source code compiles to bytecode that runs on any JVM.
  • Robust: Automatic garbage collection, exception handling, and strong type checking reduce errors.
  • Scalable: From small utilities to large enterprise systems.

Remember: The “write once, run anywhere” promise is fulfilled by the Java Virtual Machine.
