JAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

DESCRIPTION

Java is an object-oriented programming language designed to be a general-purpose development language for the Internet. The language has its roots in C and C++ but it is unique in the following ways:

• Java is a completely object-oriented (OOP) programming language Java is platform-independent
• Java has a two part development environment: a Java compiler and a Java interpreter

Designed for programmers who are familiar with C and C++ programming languages. Familiarity with object oriented concepts and design techniques is helpful but not required.
