Introduction to Java Programming 🌟
Java is a versatile, object-oriented programming language renowned for its portability, robustness, and wide adoption in enterprise applications. Created by Sun Microsystems in 1995, Java enables developers to write code once and run anywhere, thanks to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). In this section, we explore Java's core principles, its history, and its significance in modern software development.
Java's syntax is familiar to those who know C and C++, but it simplifies many complex features, making it more accessible. Its strong typing, automatic memory management, and rich standard library make it ideal for building secure and scalable applications—from mobile apps with Android to large enterprise systems.
Understanding Java's fundamentals paves the way for mastering object-oriented concepts, exception handling, and modern development frameworks.
